More quotes by Bill Gates
The government is there day in and day out, if you want all kids to have education, if you want to run courts, if you want to have an army, if you want to have roads, you've got to have the taxation system that funds everything that you expect.
Bill Gates
Imagine the disincentive to software development if after months of work another company could come along and copy your work and market it under its own name...without legal restraints to such copying, companies like Apple could not afford to advance the state of the art.
Bill Gates
If you really could take the CO2, when you burn hydrocarbons - coal, for example - if you could really capture the carbon and sequester it - they call it CCS - if the extra capital cost, energy cost, and storage costs over time didn't make it super expensive, then that's another path that you could go down.
Bill Gates
Does the e-mail say it's about 'enlargement' - that might be spam.
Bill Gates
Even when I wrote Basic myself the day before I burned it into a computer I wasn't making design changes. I didn't have a testing team. I did all the testing myself. And there was no project methodology or schedule that, there was the notion of coming to a close means testing a lot at the end and making very few changes.
Bill Gates
So we do software for watches, for phones, for TV sets, for cars. And some of these take a long time to catch on.
Bill Gates
Well, I don't think there's any need for people to focus on my career.
Bill Gates
Microsoft's only factory asset is the human imagination.
Bill Gates
I like my job because it involves learning. I like being around smart people who are trying to figure out new things. I like the fact that if people really try they can figure out how to invent things that actually have an impact.
Bill Gates
The quality of research in the U.S. is absolutely the best.
Bill Gates
In ninth grade, I came up with a new form of rebellion. I hadn't been getting good grades, but I decided to get all A's without taking a book home. I didn't go to math class, because I knew enough and had read ahead, and I placed within the top 10 people in the nation on an aptitude exam.
Bill Gates
I think any statement about stock prices is always suspect unless it's made by Warren Buffett.
Bill Gates
Steve Jobs' ability to focus in on a few things that count, get people who get user interface right, and market things as revolutionary are amazing things.
Bill Gates
If we can find approaches that meet the needs of the poor in ways that generate profits for business and votes for politicians, we will have found a sustainable way to reduce inequity in the world. This task is open-ended. It can never be finished. But a conscious effort to answer this challenge will change the world.
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
People who feel the world is tilted against them will spawn the kind of hatred that is very dangerous for all of us. I think it's a healthy sign that there are demonstrators in the streets. They are raising the question of 'is the rich world giving back enough?'
Bill Gates
Investing in tomorrow's technology today is more critical than ever.
Bill Gates
If you are born poor its not your mistake, But if you die poor its your mistake.
Bill Gates
Our work in global health is about things like cutting childhood deaths, and every year we continue to make progress there.
Bill Gates
China is certainly an important player in the global economy, and a widespread AIDS epidemic would threaten that growth.
