More quotes by Bill Gates

Bill Gates
It is hard to smash a computer when you're laughing.
Bill Gates
I don't think there's anything unique about human intelligence.

Bill Gates
The advance of technology is based on making it fit in so that you don't really even notice it, so it's part of everyday life.
Bill Gates
Most of our competitors were one-product wonders... They would do their one product, but never get their engineering sorted out.
Bill Gates
You know, I'm a big believer in touch and digital reading, but I still think that some mixture of voice, the pen and a real keyboard - in other words a netbook - will be the mainstream on that.
Bill Gates
Something like Windows is still an unbelievable asset but because the world is somewhat phone-centric, it's an asset that has to be managed very carefully to make sure that it's extended, and there are very interesting things that are being done with that.
Bill Gates
Think of business as a good game. Lots of competition and a minimum of rules. You keep score with money.
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
People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn't they? People feared coal, they feared gas-powered engines... There will always be ignorance, and ignorance leads to fear. But with time, people will come to accept their silicon masters.
Bill Gates
How you gather, manage, and use information will determine whether you win or lose.
Bill Gates
Microsoft has had its success by doing low-cost products and constantly improving those products and we've really redefined the IT industry to be something that's about a tool for individuals.
