More quotes by Bill Gates
The intersection of law, politics, and technology is going to force a lot of good thinking.
Bill Gates
The year I was born, 1955, the first big disease-eradication program in the world was declared for malaria. After about a decade of work, they realized that, at least in the tropical areas, they did not have the tools to get it done.
Bill Gates
Africa is on the rise.
Bill Gates
Microsoft's philosophy is to 'do things better.' And Vista has given us lots of opportunity to do that.
Bill Gates
We were young, but we had good advice and good ideas and lots of enthusiasm.
Bill Gates
I was announcing to the public, in 2006, that I'd be leaving Microsoft in a couple of years and focusing full-time on the foundation. That was the time at which we went back to New York and Warren [Buffett] announced these gifts to a number of foundations, with a very high percentage of it going to us and basically doubling our capacity.
Bill Gates
We are seeing smarter philanthropy, more philanthropy, and that's true world wide. So it's kind of a movement that has a lot of accomplishments, even though as a percentage of the economy, it's still only a few per cent.
Bill Gates
You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Bill Gates
For all these infectious diseases, the goal is to eventually get rid of them. And to do that we need to invent new tools, but nobody was doing that because there was no money to buy on behalf of the poorest, even the existing tools.
Bill Gates
I think any statement about stock prices is always suspect unless it's made by Warren Buffett.
Bill Gates
If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Bill Gates
In the US in the 1900's 60 % of people were employed on the farms. Today it's less than 1%. If you told people back then that this would happen they wouldn't have believed it. If you told them we would have therapy, massages and spas that played important parts in our lives they would've have believed us.
Bill Gates
People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn't they? People feared coal, they feared gas-powered engines... There will always be ignorance, and ignorance leads to fear. But with time, people will come to accept their silicon masters.
Bill Gates
No more misquoted forms, lost invoices, redundant entries, missing checks, or delays caused by incomplete paperwork.
Bill Gates
Look At The Clock When You Are Sitting idle. But Never Look At The Clock When You Are Working.
Bill Gates
Competition is always a fantastic thing, and the computer industry is intensely competitive.
Bill Gates
Antitrust is the way that the government promotes markets when there are market failures. It has nothing to do with the idea of free information.
Bill Gates
Over time, yes, countries will need to look at specific GMO products like they look at drugs today, where they don't approve them all. They look hard at the safety and the testing. And they make sure that the benefits far outweigh any of the downsides.
Bill Gates
Playing Bridge is a pretty old fashioned thing in a way that I really like... I do the dishes every night - other people volunteer but I like the way I do it.
Bill Gates
Energy is actually harder it takes more time to get a product, but if you do it's a very, very big market and the constraints of doing that in a clean way are more obvious all the time.
