Bill Gates
The term, information at your fingertips, is to remind people what a broad role the personal computer will be playing. It's not a computation device, it's not a word processing or a spreadsheet device. It's a window onto the world of information.
Bill Gates
If we [Microsoft Corporation] weren't still hiring great people and pushing ahead at full speed, it would be easy to fall behind and become a mediocre company. Fear should guide you, but it should be latent. I have some latent fear. I consider failure on a regular basis.
Bill Gates
Success is a miserable teacher. It tempts intelligent people to believe they cannot lose. And it is an unreliable guide to the future.
Bill Gates
In the same way that when the car got going, people thought it would be an electric car, people thought it would be a steam car.
Bill Gates
Banking is necessary - banks are not.
Bill Gates
Research shows that there is only half as much variation in student achievement between schools as there is among classrooms in the same school. If you want your child to get the best education possible, it is actually more important to get him assigned to a great teacher than to a great school.
Bill Gates
An important re-engineering principle is that companies should focus on their core competence and outsource everything else.
Bill Gates
This social-networking thing takes you to crazy places.
Bill Gates
