More quotes by Bill Gates
OK, I have a nickname. My family calls me 'Trey' because I'm William the third. My dad has the same name, which is always confusing because my dad is well known, and I'm also known.
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
Contraception really shouldn't be all that controversial because it's a tool a woman can use to delay her first birth until she's, say, 18 or 19 years old.
Bill Gates
There won't be anything we won't say to people to try and convince them that our way is the way to go.
Bill Gates
Software is definitely engineering. It's different in that we take on novel tasks every time. It's not like building a certain bridge that is virtually identical to some previous bridge or some previous building.
Bill Gates
You can be a business thinker.

Americans want students to get the best education possible. We want schools to prepare children to become good citizens and members of a prosperous American economy.
Bill Gates
If we can find approaches that meet the needs of the poor in ways that generate profits for business and votes for politicians, we will have found a sustainable way to reduce inequity in the world. This task is open-ended. It can never be finished. But a conscious effort to answer this challenge will change the world.
Bill Gates
Globalization has made copper and other minerals more valuable, and Ghana and Kenya have recently discovered mineral resources.
Bill Gates
The government is somewhat inept, but the private sector is inept in general. How many companies do venture capitalists invest in that go poorly? By far most of them. However, every once in a while a Google or a Microsoft comes out, so people keep giving them money.
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.
Bill Gates
In almost every area of human endeavor, the practice improves over time. That hasn't been the case for teaching.
Bill Gates
Solutions to all biological problems are greatly advanced by the sequencing work and the new tools that are created.
Bill Gates
For one thing, there's an essential human factor in every business endeavor. It doesn't matter if you have a perfect product, production plan and marketing pitch you'll still need the right people to lead and implement those plans.
Bill Gates
Reward worthy failure - Experimentation.
Bill Gates
Now, we put out a lot of carbon dioxide every year, over 26 billion tons. For each American, it's about 20 tons. For people in poor countries, it's less than one ton. It's an average of about five tons for everyone on the planet. And, somehow, we have to make changes that will bring that down to zero.
Bill Gates
Energy innovation is not a nationalistic game.
Bill Gates
The key thing you can do to reduce population growth is actually improve health.
Bill Gates
Well, no one gives aid to Zimbabwe through the Mugabe government.
Bill Gates
We're responsible for the creation of the PC industry. The whole idea of compatible machines and lots of software - that's something we brought to computing. And so it's a responsibility for us to make sure that things like security don't get in the way of that dream.
Bill Gates
