More quotes by Bill Gates
Success is a miserable teacher. It tempts intelligent people to believe they cannot lose. And it is an unreliable guide to the future.
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.
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
I think there's even a chance that [R&D and innovation budgets] might be increased [during Donald Trump Administration] and we should go and make that case to the executive branch, to the Congress.
Bill Gates
We all know that there are these exemplars who can take the toughest students, and they'll teach them two-and-a-half years of math in a single year.
Bill Gates
The intersection of law, politics, and technology is going to force a lot of good thinking.
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
It's an experiment, and it's probably good to have a couple states try it out to see before you make that national policy.
Bill Gates
Today, you always know whether you are on the Internet or on your PC's hard drive. Tomorrow, you will not care and may not even know.
Bill Gates
At the end of the day, natural-gas peakers sit back there and get financed so that the Midwest corridor can have a huge [period] of four to five days of no wind. The peakers are running big time to make that up, because that is the swing piece that can always be turned on.
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
The Chinese are clearly inculcating the idea that science is exciting and important, and that's why they, as a whole-they're graduating four times as many engineers as we are, and that's just happened over the last 20 years.
Bill Gates
An important re-engineering principle is that companies should focus on their core competence and outsource everything else.
Bill Gates
Vaccination is pretty special because you can do a vaccination campaign anywhere in the world. All you are doing is gathering women from the villages, getting them the vaccines and asking them to go around and find the children.
Bill Gates
People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn't they?
Bill Gates
Like any well designed software product, Windows is designed, developed and tested as an integrated whole.
Bill Gates
If you can't make it good, at least make it look good.
Bill Gates
There is a difference between what technology enables and what historical business practices enable.
Bill Gates
With nuclear weapons, you'd think you would probably stop after killing 100million. Smallpox won't stop. Because the population is naïve, and there are no real preparations. That, if it got out and spread, would be a larger number.
Bill Gates
On the supply side, for innovation, you'd say, go look at those R&D budgets, and they haven't moved in the last 20 years. In the case of the US - which is the majority of R&D funding across every category you can name: health, energy, whatever - it's been about $5 billion a year from the Department of Energy.
