More quotes by Bill Gates
Two out of every five people on Earth today owe their lives to the higher crop outputs that fertilizer has made possible.
Bill Gates
If you're a guest [at my $113 million house], you'll be able to call up on screens throughout the house almost any image you like - presidential portraits, reproductions of High Renaissance paintings, pictures of sunsets, airplanes, skiers in the Andes, a rare French stamp, the Beatles in 1965.
Bill Gates
Success is a lousy teacher.
Bill Gates
Stolen's a strong word. It's copyrighted content that the owner wasn't paid for.
Bill Gates
Even in some of our vaccine areas, like an AIDS vaccine, things have taken longer than we expected, but we have the pipeline of tools. The biological information that we have that gives us insights is fantastic.
Bill Gates
Bridge is one of the last games in which the computer is not better.
Bill Gates
My wife thinks she's better than me at puzzles. I haven't given in on that one yet.
Bill Gates
People are building the software and so having the pieces be such that a single person understands all the tradeoffs and everything that's going on in a piece is extremely valuable. It avoids getting into an experimental mode where you're just trying things out. That never works.
Bill Gates
SPAM is taking e-mail, which is a wonderful tool, and exploiting the idea that it's very inexpensive to send mail.
Bill Gates
I never took a day off in my twenties. Not one.
Bill Gates
You know capitalism is this wonderful thing that motivates people, it causes wonderful inventions to be done. But in this area of diseases of the world at large, it's really let us down.
Bill Gates
Personally, I'd like to see more of our leaders take a technocratic approach to solving our biggest problems.
Bill Gates
Computers are great because when you're working with them you get immediate results that let you know if your program works. It's feedback you don't get from many other things.
Bill Gates
The difference between a stranger sending you a message that you might be interested in at a very low volume level, no repetition, just sending it to very few people, and that being done as spam - those things get close enough that you want to be careful never to filter out something that's legitimate.
Bill Gates
When I was in college, for the games of that era, I was as hard core as anyone was. I wouldn't say I outgrew it, but you always have to have a finite number of addictions.
Bill Gates
Ridiculous sums of money can be confusing.
Bill Gates
Training the workforce of tomorrow with today's high schools is like trying to teach kids about today's computers on a 50-year-old mainframe.
Bill Gates
Digital technology has several features that can make it much easier for teachers to pay special attention to all their students.
Bill Gates
In fact, batteries haven't improved over the last 100 years as much as they would need to in order to make that happen. So I'm invested in a lot of battery companies - and there's a lot that exists I'm not in. They're all having a tough time achieving it.
Bill Gates
With nuclear weapons, you'd think you would probably stop after killing 100million. Smallpox won't stop. Because the population is naïve, and there are no real preparations. That, if it got out and spread, would be a larger number.
Bill Gates
