More quotes by 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
It's not easy to remember, but IBM was the computer industry when I was growing up. You loved 'em. You hated 'em. You knew what they were doing. They had set a standard for mainframes. They also set a standard for great sales focus and heavy product R & D.
Bill Gates
Money has no utility to me beyond a certain point.
Bill Gates
We make the future sustainable when we invest in the poor, not when we insist on their suffering.
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
The world needs banking but it does not need banks.
Bill Gates
I remember thinking quite logically that I didn't want to spoil my children with wealth and so that I would create a foundation, but not knowing exactly what it would focus on.
Bill Gates
I didn't even complete my University Education
Bill Gates
To be a good professional engineer, always start to study late for exams because it teaches you how to manage time and tackle emergencies.
Bill Gates
in china when you're one in a million, there are 1300 people just like you
Bill Gates
I've for some reason or other... never met Donald Trump.
Bill Gates
Now everyone takes it for granted that you can look up movie reviews, track locations, and order stuff online. I wish there was a way we could take it away from people for a day so they could remember what it was like without it.
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
I believe that the world will be a safer place if there is enough food to go around, that it will be a more stable place if children grow up with opportunities instead of frustrations. Furthermore, I can only assume that if the United States plays a role in helping to create prosperous societies, we will have friends to call on in times of need.
Bill Gates
Nigeria has moved into low-middle-income, but their north is very poor, and the health care systems there have broken down.
Bill Gates
I've been studying how quickly we can get energy out to the poor countries - a lot of which are in Africa - and how little progress we've made there. There's no more electricity today in sub-Saharan Africa per person than there was 20 years ago.
Bill Gates
An important re-engineering principle is that companies should focus on their core competence and outsource everything else.
Bill Gates
When you have the medical advances you think will they be available to everyone. Will they not just be for the rich world or even just the rich people and the rich world? Will they be for the world at large?
Bill Gates
Now you have to be a collaborator and you have to bring on governments and convince people.
Bill Gates
Microsoft's philosophy is to 'do things better.' And Vista has given us lots of opportunity to do that.
Bill Gates
