More quotes by Bill Gates
What destroys more self-confidence than any other educational thing in America is being assigned to some remedial math when you get into some college, and then it's not taught very well and you end up with this sense of, 'Hey, I can't really figure those things out.'
Bill Gates
I would counsel people to go to college, because it's one of the best times in your life in terms of who you meet and develop a broad set of intellectual skills.
Bill Gates
The U.S. immigration laws are bad - really, really bad. I'd say treatment of immigrants is one of the greatest injustices done in our government's name.
Bill Gates
Although I don't have a prescription for what others should do, I know I have been very fortunate and feel a responsibility to give back to society in a very significant way.
Bill Gates
I'm not somebody who goes to church on a regular basis. The specific elements of Christianity are not something I'm a huge believer in.
Bill Gates
I was announcing to the public, in 2006, that I'd be leaving Microsoft in a couple of years and focusing full-time on the foundation. That was the time at which we went back to New York and Warren [Buffett] announced these gifts to a number of foundations, with a very high percentage of it going to us and basically doubling our capacity.
Bill Gates
Our leadership [in Microsoft ] has that - hey, we are the best in certain ways, and so we get the best people. That any kind of positive dynamic is quite good, so I love what's going on there, it's fun.
Bill Gates
Of my mental cycles, I devote maybe 10 percent to business thinking. Business isn't that complicated. I wouldn't want to put it on my business card.
Bill Gates
Microsoft is always two years away from failure.
Bill Gates
I believe that if you show people the problems and you show them the solutions they will be moved to act.
Bill Gates
The information society should serve all of its citizens, not only the technically sophisticated and economically privileged.
Bill Gates
In my view, investing in public libraries is an investment in the nation's future.
Bill Gates
About three million computers get sold every year in China, people don't pay for the software. Someday they will, though. And as long as they're going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade.
Bill Gates
I love nuclear. It does this radiation thing that's tricky. But they're good solutions. You know, it was interesting recently, in Connecticut this natural gas plant blew up 11 guys. It just blew them up.
Bill Gates
When you have money in hand,only you forget who are you .But when you do not have any money in your hand,the whole world forget who you are.It's life.
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
I have to admit that business-type thoughts do sneak into my head: I hope our customers pay us, I hope this stuff is decent, I hope we get it done on time. The little additions and subtractions that one has to do. Take sales, take costs and try to get that big positive number at the bottom.
Bill Gates
If I'd had some set idea of a finish line, don't you think I would have crossed it years ago?
Bill Gates
Learning from mistakes and constantly improving products is a key in all successful companies.
Bill Gates
If your business is not on the Internet, then your business will be out of business.
Bill Gates
