More quotes by Bill Gates
Information work is thinking work.
Bill Gates
We all know that there are these exemplars who can take the toughest students, and they'll teach them two-and-a-half years of math in a single year.
Bill Gates
People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn't they?
Bill Gates
I watched the piles of feces go up the conveyor belt... They made their way through the machine... A few minutes later I took a long taste of the end result: a glass of delicious drinking water.
Bill Gates
I think there's even a chance that [R&D and innovation budgets] might be increased [during Donald Trump Administration] and we should go and make that case to the executive branch, to the Congress.
Bill Gates
Life is not a continuous process, there's some sort of finite number of achievements that defines your life.
Bill Gates
Energy is very primal stuff and there are a lot of leads that are promising, still at a fairly risky stage, but over the next decade some of these breakthrough approaches are going to pay out, and U.S. research and U.S. leadership on this should be part of how it gets solved.
Bill Gates
The nuclear approach I'm involved in is called a traveling-wave reactor, which uses waste uranium for fuel. There's a lot of things that have to go right for that dream to come true - many decades of building demo plants, proving the economics are right. But if it does, you could have cheaper energy with no CO2 emissions.
Bill Gates
Life is not fair get used to used to it
Bill Gates
The US spends more on energy R&D than all other countries put together, and I personally consider it quite inadequate.
Bill Gates
Treatment without prevention is simply unsustainable.
Bill Gates
You have to be willing to see that sometimes the governments of these poor countries don't come through. You have to think about that as a constraint. How do you help them be better? How do you come up with things that actually work, even in those tough situations.
Bill Gates
[Warren Buffett ] met with all sorts of different groups about a lot of different things, but yes, he took the time, he listened and he wanted to understand about some of the different diseases and the strength of the American role in doing all these things.
Bill Gates
'I don't know' has become 'I don't know yet'.
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
People who feel the world is tilted against them will spawn the kind of hatred that is very dangerous for all of us. I think it's a healthy sign that there are demonstrators in the streets. They are raising the question of 'is the rich world giving back enough?'
Bill Gates
Success is a lousy teacher. It makes you think you know what you're doing.
Bill Gates
Don't wallow in failure. Instead, learn from it.
Bill Gates
Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Bill Gates
Microsoft has had clear competitors in the past. It's a good thing we have museums to document that.
Bill Gates
