More quotes by Bill Gates
If your business is not on the Internet, then your business will be out of business.
Bill Gates
When you program, you want to think you're writing the best possible program for the... for the task you're trying to solve.
Bill Gates
Of my mental cycles, I devote maybe 10 percent to business thinking. Business isn't that complicated. I wouldn't want to put it on my business card.
Bill Gates
Innovation is moving at a scarily fast pace.
Bill Gates
As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.
Bill Gates
Philanthropy should be taking much bigger risks that business. If these are easy problems, business and government can come in and solve them.
Bill Gates
You have a meeting to make a decision, not to decide on the question.
Bill Gates
You can go overboard in how quickly you might expect new technologies to transform people's lives. But I very much believe the way software is used, the way information gets distributed, will be dramatically different within 10 years. There is fire to go with all this smoke.
Bill Gates
It is a high bar to say that it's more fun than working on software because the work at Microsoft that both Melinda [Gates] and I did was thrilling. We were making breakthroughs and empowering people.
Bill Gates
I realized about 10 years ago that my wealth has to go back to society. A fortune, the size of which is hard to imagine, is best not passed on to one's children. It's not constructive for them.
Bill Gates
50 years from now we won't need as much human labour to do what manual workers do, so we should be able to take that extra productivity and put it to better use.
Bill Gates
The difference between a stranger sending you a message that you might be interested in at a very low volume level, no repetition, just sending it to very few people, and that being done as spam - those things get close enough that you want to be careful never to filter out something that's legitimate.
Bill Gates
Philanthropy is fun and fulfilling.
Bill Gates
Should surveillance be usable for petty crimes like jaywalking or minor drug possession? Or is there a higher threshold for certain information? Those aren't easy questions.
Bill Gates
K to 12 is partly about babysitting the kids so the parents can do other things.
Bill Gates
It is really gratifying, for example, to visit India now and see that because they've had good educational institutions, and they've had a focus on it, there are more and more people in India participating in the world economy.
Bill Gates
So we can simulate Richter-10 earthquakes. We simulate 70-foot waves coming into these things. Very cool. We basically say no human should ever be required to do anything, because if you judge by Chernobyl and Fukushima, the human element is not on your side.
Bill Gates
I don't believe in creating dynastic wealth. I don't really believe that in a society that aspires to be meritocratic and that believes in equality of opportunity - my kids have had advantage over 99 percent of the kids in the country.
Bill Gates
Only through focus can you do world-class things, no matter how capable you are.
Bill Gates
Vision without execution is daydreaming.
