Long-term vision and product strategy.
Bill Gates
I realized about 10 years ago that my wealth has to go back to society. A fortune, the size of which is hard to imagine, is best not passed on to one's children. It's not constructive for them.
Bill Gates
Bioterrorism is like earthquakes, you should think in order of magnitudes. If you can kill 10 people that's a one, 100 people that's a two... Bioterrorism is the thing that can give you not just sixes, but sevens, eights and nines.
Bill Gates
Unfortunately, the highly curious student is a small percentage of the kids.
Bill Gates
The power of capitalism to mediate the gap between rich and poor is pretty incredible. Indeed, I think, year by year, the gap gets less.
Bill Gates
In 80% of the world, energy will be bought where it is economic. You have to help the rest of the world get energy at a reasonable price.
Bill Gates
Microsoft is involved in setting some fairly key standards and people are afraid of it because they think, Geez, they are quite capable. It's daunting, I suppose.
Bill Gates
The inventory, the value of my company, walks out the door every evening.
Bill Gates
Microsoft's only factory asset is the human imagination.
Bill Gates
If you're asking whether I intentionally mess up my hair, no, I don't. And certain things, like my freckles, they're just there. I don't do anything consciously. I suppose I could get contact lenses. I suppose I could comb my hair more often.
Bill Gates
My wife thinks she's better than me at puzzles. I haven't given in on that one yet.
Bill Gates
Most of our competitors were one-product wonders... They would do their one product, but never get their engineering sorted out.
Bill Gates
Success is a miserable teacher. It tempts intelligent people to believe they cannot lose. And it is an unreliable guide to the future.
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
Investing in innovation, which was my broad theme talking to [Warren Buffett ], that included health vaccines, it included energy and education.
Bill Gates
Why do people benefit in inverse proportion to their need? Well, market incentives make that happen.
Bill Gates
Making sure all our students get a great education, find a career that's fulfilling and rewarding, and have a chance to live out their dreams ... wouldn't just make us a more successful country - it would also make us a more fair and just one.
Bill Gates
You can be a business thinker.
Bill Gates
Microsoft Research has a thing called the Sense Cam that, as you walk around, it's taking photos all the time. And the software will filter and find the ones that are interesting without having to think, 'Let's get out the camera and get that shot.' You just have that, and software helps you pick what you want.
Bill Gates
We win because we hire the smartest people. We improve our products based on feedback, until they're the best. We have retreats each year where we think about where the world is heading.
Bill Gates
