More quotes by Bill Gates
No more misquoted forms, lost invoices, redundant entries, missing checks, or delays caused by incomplete paperwork.

Bill Gates
Software is a great combination between artistry and engineering.
Bill Gates
3D is a way of organizing things, particularly as we're getting much more media information on the computer, a lot more choices, a lot more navigation than we've ever had before.
Bill Gates
Bridge is one of the last games in which the computer is not better.
Bill Gates
Whenever you have war, you often have more deaths because the medical system and the food system breaks down, than you have directly through violence.

The Center for Disease Control started out as the malaria war control board based in Atlanta.

Bill Gates
In ninth grade, I came up with a new form of rebellion. I hadn't been getting good grades, but I decided to get all A's without taking a book home. I didn't go to math class, because I knew enough and had read ahead, and I placed within the top 10 people in the nation on an aptitude exam.
Bill Gates
I think given all the different imperatives - getting energy to Africa, security of energy, climate change, that we should be spending half as much as we spend on health, which will get you all the way up to $15 billion - the health people don't like it when things get compared to their number.
Bill Gates
In the US in the 1900's 60 % of people were employed on the farms. Today it's less than 1%. If you told people back then that this would happen they wouldn't have believed it. If you told them we would have therapy, massages and spas that played important parts in our lives they would've have believed us.
Bill Gates
We all have the chance to create a world where extreme poverty is the exception rather than the rule.
Bill Gates
People should just buy a CD and rip it. You are legal then.
Bill Gates
There's always been a lot of information about your activities. Every phone number you dial, every credit-card charge you make. It's long since passed that a typical person doesn't leave footprints.
Bill Gates
Imagine the disincentive to software development if after months of work another company could come along and copy your work and market it under its own name...without legal restraints to such copying, companies like Apple could not afford to advance the state of the art.
Bill Gates
We need to cooperate globally on epidemic preparedness and prevention in the same way we are cooperating globally to stop people from getting nuclear weapons.
Bill Gates
Success is a lousy teacher. It makes you think you know what you're doing.
Bill Gates
Energy is very primal stuff and there are a lot of leads that are promising, still at a fairly risky stage, but over the next decade some of these breakthrough approaches are going to pay out, and U.S. research and U.S. leadership on this should be part of how it gets solved.
