Don't let complexity stop you. Be activists. Take on the big inequities. It will be one of the great experiences of your lives.
Bill Gates
Even when things are stable, that's not easy [to work in Africa] because there are not roads, and the weather is tough, the education system hasn't been there. But this is how you get great countries, is step by step.
Bill Gates

Bill Gates
My dream is that every child has enough food to eat, good medical care, and the chance to go to school and even attend college.
Bill Gates
In 1990, one in 10 children died before the age of five. That's now down to one in 20, and vaccines were the single biggest factor in that. Had it stayed at 10 percent, 122 million more children would have died.
Bill Gates
Now, we put out a lot of carbon dioxide every year, over 26 billion tons. For each American, it's about 20 tons. For people in poor countries, it's less than one ton. It's an average of about five tons for everyone on the planet. And, somehow, we have to make changes that will bring that down to zero.

Playing Bridge is a pretty old fashioned thing in a way that I really like. I was watching my daughter ride horses this weekend and that is also a bit old fashioned but fun. I do the dishes every night - other people volunteer but I like the way I do it.
Bill Gates
There are several hundred people who stayed in the Ebola-affected countries and continued to do the work, put themselves at great risk because medical workers are the most likely to be infected because they're helping out when the person's health is deteriorating, including quite a bit of bleeding as they're getting very, very sick.
Bill Gates
I've been studying how quickly we can get energy out to the poor countries - a lot of which are in Africa - and how little progress we've made there. There's no more electricity today in sub-Saharan Africa per person than there was 20 years ago.
Bill Gates
When I say an energy miracle, I mean that there will be some form of energy whose 24 hour cost really is competitive with hydrocarbons given, say, 20 years of learning curve. You invent it, then you look at how much its costs go down over the next 20 years, that it really beats hydrocarbons.
Bill Gates
The potential financial reward for building the 'next Windows' is so great that there will never be a shortage of new technologies seeking to challenge it.
Bill Gates
Discrimination has a lot of layers that make it tough for minorities to get a leg up.
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
Maintaining a consistent platform also helps improve product support - a significant problem in the software industry.
Bill Gates
Spam will be a thing of the past in two years' time.
Bill Gates
We are in the throes of a transition where every publication has to think of their digital strategy.
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
Great organizations demand a high level of commitment by the people involved.
Bill Gates
I've always been amazed by Da Vinci, because he worked out science on his own. He would work by drawing things and writing down his ideas. Of course, he designed all sorts of flying machines way before you could actually build something like that.
Bill Gates
There are ecosystems like coral reefs [at risk] through ocean acidification. Those are valuable things that we should protect.
Bill Gates
