More quotes by Bill Gates
Who in their right mind would ever need more than 640k of ram!?
Bill Gates
Computer science … jobs should be way more interesting than even going to Wall Street or being a lawyer--or, I can argue, than anything but perhaps biology, and there it's just a tie.
Bill Gates
Microsoft has had its success by doing low-cost products and constantly improving those products and we've really redefined the IT industry to be something that's about a tool for individuals.
Bill Gates
Creating a piece of software is always complicated because you're doing something new. If you just wanted something that had been done before you'd just use that old piece of software. So there are no repetitive tasks.
Bill Gates
Five years from now on the Web for free you’ll be able to find the best lectures in the world. It will be better than any single university.
Bill Gates
Maintaining a consistent platform also helps improve product support - a significant problem in the software industry.
Bill Gates
Life is not a continuous process, there's some sort of finite number of achievements that defines your life.
Bill Gates
Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Bill Gates

Bill Gates
Countries which receive aid do graduate. Within a generation, Korea went from being a big recipient to being a big aid donor. China used to get quite a bit of aid now it's aid-neutral.
Bill Gates
The world is progressing and resources are becoming more abundant. I'd rather go into a grocery store today than a king's banquet a hundred years ago.
Bill Gates
When Paul Allen and I started Microsoft over 30 years ago, we had big dreams about software. We had dreams about the impact it could have.
Bill Gates
I could name about a dozen paths, and you'd like to have a whole bunch of research on all those paths, and then, eventually, at least four to five companies with really significant financing try and get to big scale, going down and really trying to prove it out.
Bill Gates
Banking is necessary - banks are not.
Bill Gates
Scientists and companies weren't creating things like new vaccines. Now that we have this fund that's there to buy at the lowest price, but buy for those people these medicines, we see scientists everywhere coming up with those new tools.
Bill Gates
I'd be happy if I could think that the role of the library was sustained and even enhanced in the age of the computer.
Bill Gates
You might say, well, aren't people saying that about wind and solar today? Not really. Only in the super-narrow sense that the capital costs per output, when the wind is blowing, is slightly lower.
Bill Gates
(In response to Java) Anybody who thinks a little 9,000-line program that's distributed free and can be cloned by anyone is going to affect anything we do at Microsoft has his head screwed on wrong.
Bill Gates
Information work is thinking work.
Bill Gates
I'm going to save my public voice largely for the issues where I have some depth.
Bill Gates
