Bill Gates
The government's ability to select scientists and pick things that are fairly strange, because politicians don't like failures. They're only in office a short term, and many of these things take a long time.
Bill Gates
I believe that if you show people the problems and you show them the solutions they will be moved to act.
Bill Gates
Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.
Bill Gates
Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Bill Gates
