More quotes by Bill Gates
I don't like typing messages on my phone. Some people get used to it.
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
Polio's pretty special because once you get an eradication, you no longer have to spend money on it it's just there as a gift for the rest of time.
Bill Gates
I'm certainly well taken care of in terms of food and clothes ... Money has no utility to me beyond a certain point. Its utility is entirely in building an organization and getting the resources out to the poorest in the world.
Bill Gates
We'll have infinite bandwidth in a decade's time.
Bill Gates
The common thread for everything I do is this idea of a Web-services architecture. What does that mean? It means taking components of software and systems and having them be self-describing, so that you can aim them, ask them what their capabilities are, and communicate with them using a standard protocol.
Bill Gates
I'm an investor in a number of biotech companies, partly because of my incredible enthusiasm for the great innovations they will bring.
Bill Gates
I really do think cancer will largely be a solved problem. I think most of the infectious diseases like malaria - our foundation is very involved - once we're finishing polio eradication, then starting up this malaria eradication, and getting that done as fast as we can.
Bill Gates
I am not in competition with anyone but myself. My goal is to improve myself continuously.
Bill Gates
Often you have to rely on intuition.
Bill Gates
Vaccination is pretty special because you can do a vaccination campaign anywhere in the world. All you are doing is gathering women from the villages, getting them the vaccines and asking them to go around and find the children.
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
A first-generation fortune is the most likely to be given away, but once a fortune is inherited it's less likely that a very high percentage will go back to society.
Bill Gates
The information society should serve all of its citizens, not only the technically sophisticated and economically privileged.
Bill Gates
Apple has always leveraged technologies that the PC industry has driven to critical mass - the bus structures, the graphics cards, the peripherals, the connection networks, things like that - so they're kind of in the PC ecosystem and kind of not.
Bill Gates
It's energy intensification, where we essentially have, through our light bulbs and cars, the manpower of [hundreds of] people working on our behalf, helping our food being created, helping our materials like steel and plastic and wood and paper be created. Our lifestyles are incredibly energy intense.
Bill Gates
I set a rule that people weren't allowed to send good news unless they sent around an equal amount of bad news. We had to get a balanced picture. In fact, I kind of favored just hearing about the accounts we were losing because ... bad news is generally more actionable than good news.
Bill Gates
The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Bill Gates
What we're really after is simply that people acquire a legal license for Windows for each computer they own before they move on to Linux or Sun Solaris or BSD or OS/2 or whatever.
Bill Gates
Rules broken today become norms tomorrow.
