Bill Gates
I remember thinking quite logically that I didn't want to spoil my children with wealth and so that I would create a foundation, but not knowing exactly what it would focus on.
Bill Gates
The returns from investing in poor people are just as great as the returns from investing in the business world... and have even more meaning
Bill Gates

Bill Gates
Married life is a simpler life. Who I spend my time with is established in advance.
Bill Gates

Bill Gates
If I had a dollar for every time someone made fun of me in high school-oh wait, I do!
