Microsoft has had clear competitors in the past. It's a good thing we have museums to document that.
Bill Gates
Whenever you have war, you often have more deaths because the medical system and the food system breaks down, than you have directly through violence.
Bill Gates
It's energy intensification, where we essentially have, through our light bulbs and cars, the manpower of [hundreds of] people working on our behalf, helping our food being created, helping our materials like steel and plastic and wood and paper be created. Our lifestyles are incredibly energy intense.
Bill Gates
In a system of capitalism, as people's wealth rises, the financial incentive to serve them rises. As their wealth falls, the financial incentive to serve them falls, until it becomes zero. We have to find a way to make the aspects of capitalism that serve wealthier people serve poorer people as well.

Bill Gates

Bill Gates
We’re no longer in the days where every program is super well crafted. But at the heart of the programs that make it to the top, you’ll find that the key internal code was done by a few people who really knew what they were doing.
Bill Gates
This [philanthropy] work is even more fascinating. It requires us to think harder about how we build partnerships, who we get behind. And yet we get to see progress that in some ways is even more profound than the great advances that digital technology has provided.
Bill Gates
If you are low income in the United States, you have a higher chance of going to jail than getting a 4-year degree.
Bill Gates
Most innovations, unfortunately, actually increase the net costs of the healthcare system. There's a few, particularly having to do with chronic diseases, that are an exception. If you could cure Alzheimer's, if you could avoid diabetes - those are gigantic in terms of saving money. But the incentive regime doesn't favor them.
Bill Gates
Our success has really been based on partnerships from the very beginning.
Bill Gates
According to Ethiopian custom, parents wait to name a baby because children often die in the first weeks of life.
Bill Gates
In 1990, one in 10 children died before the age of five. That's now down to one in 20, and vaccines were the single biggest factor in that. Had it stayed at 10 percent, 122 million more children would have died.
Bill Gates
