The idea that you encourage companies to take their innovative thinkers and think about the most needy - even beyond the market opportunities - that's something that appropriately ought to be done.
Bill Gates
I don't have a magic formula for prioritizing the world's problems.
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
I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time. But many others were also in the same place. The difference was that I took action.

Bill Gates
The greatest thing you can do for your competition - hire poorly.
Bill Gates
Learn from your unhappy customers.
Bill Gates
It's OK for China to invent cancer drugs that cure patients in the United States. We want them to catch up. But as the leader, we want to keep setting a very, very high standard. We don't want them to catch up because we're slowing down or, even worse, going into reverse.
Bill Gates
We should all grow our own food and do our own waste processing, we really should.
Bill Gates
The PC has improved the world in just about every area you can think of. Amazing developments in communications, collaboration and efficiencies. New kinds of entertainment and social media. Access to information and the ability to give a voice people who would never have been heard.
Bill Gates
Everything on the internet is real god damn it!
Bill Gates
The most interesting biofuel efforts avoid using land that's expensive and has high opportunity costs. They do this by getting onto other types of land, or taking advantage of byproducts that aren't used in the food chain today, or by intercropping.
Bill Gates
In the next 15 years, we can halve childhood deaths. That's doable.
Bill Gates
Playing Bridge is a pretty old fashioned thing in a way that I really like... I do the dishes every night - other people volunteer but I like the way I do it.
