Information technology and business are becoming inextricably interwoven. I don't think anybody can talk meaningfully about one without the talking about the other.
Bill Gates

Why do people benefit in inverse proportion to their need? Well, market incentives make that happen.
Bill Gates

I didn't used to wear a watch. Now I have a SPOT watch, which I wear all the time.
Bill Gates

When you are failing, you are forced to be creative, to dig deep and think, night and day.
Bill Gates
Image
Microsoft is involved in setting some fairly key standards and people are afraid of it because they think, Geez, they are quite capable. It's daunting, I suppose.

We have two other countries, Pakistan and Afghanistan - again it's the instability that is a problem there. So over the next several years, we expect to drive the number of [polio] cases back down to zero because that is likely to be the second disease after smallpox that we completely eradicate.

On the supply side, for innovation, you'd say, go look at those R&D budgets, and they haven't moved in the last 20 years. In the case of the US - which is the majority of R&D funding across every category you can name: health, energy, whatever - it's been about $5 billion a year from the Department of Energy.

Our vision, which has not changed since the day the company was founded.
Bill Gates
Image
Take agriculture, where we haven't done much, or sanitation saying, okay, we will be able to make a really huge effort there. It really energized the foundation and half of what we've gotten done in this last decade is because Warren [Buffett] trusted us.
Bill Gates

Effective philanthropy requires a lot of time and creativity - the same kind of focus and skills that building a business requires.
Bill Gates
Image
We're responsible for the creation of the PC industry. The whole idea of compatible machines and lots of software - that's something we brought to computing. And so it's a responsibility for us to make sure that things like security don't get in the way of that dream.

Paper is no longer a big part of my day. I get 90% of my news online, and when I go to a meeting and want to jot things down, I bring my Tablet PC. It's fully synchronized with my office machine so I have all the files I need.

I don't think there's anything unique about human intelligence.
Bill Gates

Success is a lousy teacher. It makes you think you know what you're doing.

I never took a day off in my twenties. Not one.
Bill Gates
Image
I have to admit that business-type thoughts do sneak into my head: I hope our customers pay us, I hope this stuff is decent, I hope we get it done on time. The little additions and subtractions that one has to do. Take sales, take costs and try to get that big positive number at the bottom.

[AIDS ] is not a short-term emergency but it is something that, just like smallpox was many decades ago, we should aim for complete eradication.

No more misquoted forms, lost invoices, redundant entries, missing checks, or delays caused by incomplete paperwork.

The Internet? We are not interested in it

The current information revolution is a cultural revolution, a social revolution, a thoroughgoing technological revolution that involves not just information, but labor, leisure, entertainment, communication, education, culture and thus is part of a major cultural and social shift.
