More quotes by Bill Gates
A company needs to have good business reflexes, to be able to marshal its forces in a crisis or in response to any unplanned event.
Bill Gates
I remember in 1980 or 1981 looking at a list of people who had made a lot of money in the computer industry and thinking, Wow, that's amazing. But I never thought I'd be on that list. It's clear I was wrong. I'm on the list, at least temporarily.
Bill Gates
My wife thinks she's better than me at puzzles. I haven't given in on that one yet.
Bill Gates
We need to look at less obvious paths, things like the wind in the jet stream, which is very high up. The material science of what type of kite string you would need to connect up to that. That's still at the basic research level.
Bill Gates
The Ebola epidemic can serve as an early warning wake-up call to get ready. If we start now, we can be ready for the next epidemic.
Bill Gates
What's amazing is, if young people understood how doing well in school makes the rest of their life so much interesting, they would be more motivated. It's so far away in time that they can't appreciate what it means for their whole life.
Bill Gates
For all these infectious diseases, the goal is to eventually get rid of them. And to do that we need to invent new tools, but nobody was doing that because there was no money to buy on behalf of the poorest, even the existing tools.
Bill Gates
Even when I wrote Basic myself the day before I burned it into a computer I wasn't making design changes. I didn't have a testing team. I did all the testing myself. And there was no project methodology or schedule that, there was the notion of coming to a close means testing a lot at the end and making very few changes.
Bill Gates
Most innovations, unfortunately, actually increase the net costs of the healthcare system. There's a few, particularly having to do with chronic diseases, that are an exception. If you could cure Alzheimer's, if you could avoid diabetes - those are gigantic in terms of saving money. But the incentive regime doesn't favor them.
Bill Gates
Measles will always show you if someone isn't doing a good job on vaccinations. Kids will start dying of measles.
Bill Gates
We are not even close to finishing the basic dream of what the PC can be.
Bill Gates
People everywhere love Windows.
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
Make sure people get educated, help out with health emergencies. Those things, the government should do. That's 96 per cent of the economy, those two sectors.
Bill Gates
Being flooded with information doesn't mean we have the right information or that we're in touch with the right people.
Bill Gates
The pace of progress in biology creates a foundation that naturally gets picked up by the biotech and pharmaceutical industry to solve rich-world diseases. This is attractive science. It's science that people want to work on.
Bill Gates
Eradications are special. Zero is a magic number. You either do what it takes to get to zero and you're glad you did it or you get close, give up and it goes back to where it was before, in which case you wasted all that credibility, activity, money that could have been applied to other things.
Bill Gates
The most important thing was the creation of a... a standard, where hundreds of companies build hardware that can all run the same software.
Bill Gates
Married life is a simpler life. Who I spend my time with is established in advance.
Bill Gates
The Green Revolution focused on the big three - maize, rice and wheat - and the Green Revolution did not adapt the big three to African conditions, other than South Africa, as much as they should have.
