Bill Gates
The information society should serve all of its citizens, not only the technically sophisticated and economically privileged.
Bill Gates
... No one is less happy than I am with the performance of Microsoft stock! I've lost tens of billions of dollars this year - if you check, you'll see that's more than most people make in a lifetime!
Bill Gates
I have been struck again and again by how important measurement is to improving the human condition.
Bill Gates

Bill Gates
So we can simulate Richter-10 earthquakes. We simulate 70-foot waves coming into these things. Very cool. We basically say no human should ever be required to do anything, because if you judge by Chernobyl and Fukushima, the human element is not on your side.
Bill Gates
We're focused on providing innovations in software, driving the continuous improvement for a much better experience, and there's a lot going on here that speaks to this decade and what's going to happen in this decade. We can kind of sum it up in terms of saying, Yes, you can.
Bill Gates
Philanthropy should be taking much bigger risks that business. If these are easy problems, business and government can come in and solve them.
Bill Gates
The impact of improving health is that the population growth goes down, and so you can educate more kids, feed more kids.
Bill Gates
The Green Revolution focused on the big three - maize, rice and wheat - and the Green Revolution did not adapt the big three to African conditions, other than South Africa, as much as they should have.
Bill Gates
Being able to see an activity log of where a kid has been going on the Internet is a good thing.
Bill Gates
Money has no utility to me beyond a certain point.
Bill Gates
Is the rich world aware of how four billion of the six billion live? If we were aware, we would want to help out, we'd want to get involved.
Bill Gates
I am results-oriented.
Bill Gates
Sometimes we do get taken by surprise. For example, when the Internet came along, we had it as a fifth or sixth priority.
Bill Gates
If I think something's a waste of time or inappropriate I don't wait to point it out. I say it right away. It's real time. So you might hear me say 'That's the dumbest idea I have ever heard' many times during a meeting.
Bill Gates
