More quotes by Bill Gates
In poor countries, we still need better ways to measure the effectiveness of the many government workers providing health services. They are the crucial link bringing tools such as vaccines and education to the people who need them most. How well trained are they? Are they showing up to work?

Bill Gates
When I was in my 40s, Microsoft was my primary activity.
Bill Gates

Bill Gates
If I'd had some set idea of a finish line, don't you think I would have crossed it years ago?
Bill Gates
The nuclear approach I'm involved in is called a traveling-wave reactor, which uses waste uranium for fuel. There's a lot of things that have to go right for that dream to come true - many decades of building demo plants, proving the economics are right. But if it does, you could have cheaper energy with no CO2 emissions.
Bill Gates
My dream is that every child has enough food to eat, good medical care, and the chance to go to school and even attend college.
Bill Gates
