More quotes by Bill Gates
The world needs banking but it does not need banks.
Bill Gates
When we face a choice between adding features and resolving security issues, we need to choose security.
Bill Gates
I don't have a magic formula for prioritizing the world's problems.
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
Contrary to popular belief, I don't spend a whole lot of time following soccer. But as I have traveled around the world to better understand global development and health, I've learned that soccer is truly universal. No matter where I go, that's what kids are playing. That's what people are talking about.
Bill Gates
In poor countries, we still need better ways to measure the effectiveness of the many government workers providing health services. They are the crucial link bringing tools such as vaccines and education to the people who need them most. How well trained are they? Are they showing up to work?
Bill Gates
Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping - they called it opportunity.
Bill Gates
I don't think there's anything unique about human intelligence.
Bill Gates
Anything you do, you better enjoy it for its value. Because people are going to second-guess everything you do.
Bill Gates
There is this broad, broad recognition of how technology is enabling new things. Companies that never paid attention to computers in any form now see digital technology as creating threats and opportunities for them.
Bill Gates
We all have the chance to create a world where extreme poverty is the exception rather than the rule.
Bill Gates
You can go overboard in how quickly you might expect new technologies to transform people's lives. But I very much believe the way software is used, the way information gets distributed, will be dramatically different within 10 years. There is fire to go with all this smoke.
Bill Gates
The internet is just a passing fad.
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
In almost every area of human endeavor, the practice improves over time. That hasn't been the case for teaching.
Bill Gates
Think of business as a good game. Lots of competition and a minimum of rules. You keep score with money.
Bill Gates
Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Bill Gates
We make the future sustainable when we invest in the poor, not when we insist on their suffering.
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
In fact, batteries haven't improved over the last 100 years as much as they would need to in order to make that happen. So I'm invested in a lot of battery companies - and there's a lot that exists I'm not in. They're all having a tough time achieving it.
