More quotes by Bill Gates
There is no doubt that as an economy grows in a great way like India has, that you have to step back and change your tax systems, because you start to get more disparities of wealth.
Bill Gates
Make sure people get educated, help out with health emergencies. Those things, the government should do. That's 96 per cent of the economy, those two sectors.
Bill Gates
In programming when you're making a change you have to know all the affected places, and you have to be able to model in your head what the performance impact will be.
Bill Gates
Robotics and other combinations will make the world pretty fantastic compared with today.
Bill Gates
Now we've got that [children's death rate] down to about 5 percent, so we've more than cut it in half, and that's because we're getting vaccines out, economic improvement also helps there, but the vaccines are why we've seen an acceleration in getting that down.
Bill Gates
We believe the world changes when the boldest thinking is directed at the toughest problems
Bill Gates
Other paths would include making nuclear fission cheap enough and safe enough that people broadly embrace it, so that could be scaled up.
Bill Gates
This [philanthropy] work is even more fascinating. It requires us to think harder about how we build partnerships, who we get behind. And yet we get to see progress that in some ways is even more profound than the great advances that digital technology has provided.
Bill Gates
For Africa to move forward, you've really got to get rid of malaria.
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
Microsoft is always two years away from failure.
Bill Gates
Everyone needs a coach. It doesn't matter whether you're a basketball player, a tennis player, a gymnast or a bridge player.
Bill Gates
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
In the same way that when the car got going, people thought it would be an electric car, people thought it would be a steam car.
Bill Gates
I have been struck again and again by how important measurement is to improving the human condition.
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
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
While we're all very dependent on technology, it doesn't always work.
Bill Gates
If we can find approaches that meet the needs of the poor in ways that generate profits for business and votes for politicians, we will have found a sustainable way to reduce inequity in the world. This task is open-ended. It can never be finished. But a conscious effort to answer this challenge will change the world.
Bill Gates
There won't be anything we won't say to people to try and convince them that our way is the way to go.
Bill Gates
