More quotes by Bill Gates
America's high schools are obsolete. By obsolete, I don't just mean that they're broken, flawed, or underfunded, though a case could be made for every one of those points. By obsolete, I mean our high schools-even when they're working as designed-cannot teach all our students what they need to know today.

Contrary to popular belief, I don't spend a whole lot of time following soccer. But as I have traveled around the world to better understand global development and health, I've learned that soccer is truly universal. No matter where I go, that's what kids are playing. That's what people are talking about.
Bill Gates
When I was in my 40s, Microsoft was my primary activity.
Bill Gates
If there was an epidemic, that definitely would make people accept vaccines. I wouldn't hope for that, of course, but if you wanted people to love vaccines, an epidemic would remind them how magical they are.
Bill Gates
I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.
Bill Gates
Like my friend Warren Buffett, I feel particularly lucky to do something every day that I love to do. He calls it tap dancing to work.
Bill Gates
In almost every area of human endeavor, the practice improves over time. That hasn't been the case for teaching.
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
I believe OS/2 is destined to be the most important operating system, and possibly program, of all time.
Bill Gates
Think of business as a good game. Lots of competition and a minimum of rules. You keep score with money.
Bill Gates
AIDS itself is subject to incredible stigma.
Bill Gates
DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created.
Bill Gates
I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that. No one involved in computers would ever say that a certain amount of memory is enough for all time.
