Bill Gates
With world health, every life you save is a wonderful thing, so it's not this question of whether you solve it or you don't. The chance of completely solving the problems has long odds. But really, the thing is that you get to save the first child, the second child, the third child. You can just feel good about that.
Bill Gates
When you program, you want to think you're writing the best possible program for the... for the task you're trying to solve.
Bill Gates
