More quotes by Bill Gates
Sometimes we do get taken by surprise. For example, when the Internet came along, we had it as a fifth or sixth priority.
Bill Gates

Bill Gates
I am not a huge gamer. My son knows a LOT more than I do about what is cool on Xbox. I played Halo but the sports games that the whole family can use are the things I use the most. I threw the javelin very very far!
Bill Gates
The flatter the corporate hierarchy, the more likely it is that employees will communicate bad news and act upon it.
Bill Gates
The machines need to get faster. They need to get cheaper.
Bill Gates
An important re-engineering principle is that companies should focus on their core competence and outsource everything else.
Bill Gates
So we do software for watches, for phones, for TV sets, for cars. And some of these take a long time to catch on.
Bill Gates
It is a high bar to say that it's more fun than working on software because the work at Microsoft that both Melinda [Gates] and I did was thrilling. We were making breakthroughs and empowering people.
Bill Gates
The idea of explaining why free trade is good, why immigration is good, why the world is so connected, that we need to think in terms of humanity and being generous to each other, you know, that's proving to be a challenge.
Bill Gates
'I don't know' has become 'I don't know yet'.
Bill Gates
