It's OK for China to invent cancer drugs that cure patients in the United States. We want them to catch up. But as the leader, we want to keep setting a very, very high standard. We don't want them to catch up because we're slowing down or, even worse, going into reverse.
Bill Gates
In almost every area of human endeavor, the practice improves over time. That hasn't been the case for teaching.

Bill Gates
If you take from the most wealthy and give to the least wealthy, it's good. It tries to balance out.
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
In low-income countries, getting to a health post is hard. It's very expensive.
Bill Gates
If you say to people that there's less violence today than in the past, they would be stunned to hear that. But it's the truth, even though we have awful things happening in Syria or Sudan.
