More quotes by Bill Gates
There were a lot of missteps in the early days, but because we got in early we got to make more mistakes than other people.
Bill Gates
As we have taken diarrhea and pneumonia down, even malaria down quite a bit, the portion of the days that are very early in that 5 years - the first month, the first day - it's about half now. Yet that's the part we understand the least.
Bill Gates
If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 MPG.
Bill Gates
Nuclear energy, in terms of an overall safety record, is better than other energy.
Bill Gates
When you have the medical advances you think will they be available to everyone. Will they not just be for the rich world or even just the rich people and the rich world? Will they be for the world at large?
Bill Gates
The barrier to change is not too little caring it is too much complexity. To turn caring into action, we need to see a problem, see a solution, and see the impact. But complexity blocks all three steps.
Bill Gates
Everything on the internet is real god damn it!
Bill Gates
The machines need to get faster. They need to get cheaper.
Bill Gates
The early personal computers were not very powerful so the idea of feeding their program into a small amount of memory requires immense skill.
Bill Gates
You don't have to own a TV network to go out and do a cool show.
Bill Gates
The first five years have so much to do with how the next 80 turn out.
Bill Gates
The answer is simple, and harsh. The market did not reward saving the lives of these children, and governments did not subsidize it. So the children died because their mothers and their fathers had no power in the market and no voice in the system.
Bill Gates
Kenya’s M-Pesa proves that when people are empowered, they will use digital tech to innovate on their own behalf.
Bill Gates
In business, the idea of measuring what you are doing, picking the measurements that count like customer satisfaction and performance... you thrive on that.
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
I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that. No one involved in computers would ever say that a certain amount of memory is enough for all time.
Bill Gates
Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.
Bill Gates
I did not even finish my studies
Bill Gates
My son likes to go see mines and electric plants, or the Large Hadron Collider, and we've had a chance to see a lot of interesting stuff.
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
