More quotes by Bill Gates
Competition is always a fantastic thing, and the computer industry is intensely competitive.
Bill Gates
Living on $6 a day means you have a refrigerator, a TV, a cell phone, your children can go to school. That's not possible on $1 a day.
Bill Gates
Creative capitalism takes this interest in the fortunes of others and ties it to our interest in our own fortunes in ways that help advance both. This hybrid engine of self-interest and concern for others can serve a much wider circle of people than can be reached by self-interest or caring alone.
Bill Gates
Success is a miserable teacher. It tempts intelligent people to believe they cannot lose. And it is an unreliable guide to the future.
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
The next big invention that will change the way we live should be things like ways of generating energy like electricity.
Bill Gates
[We in Microsoft] are not the only software company but we are a great software company doing some unique work.
Bill Gates
For all these infectious diseases, the goal is to eventually get rid of them. And to do that we need to invent new tools, but nobody was doing that because there was no money to buy on behalf of the poorest, even the existing tools.
Bill Gates
I have a particular relationship with Vinod Khosla because he's got a lot of very interesting science-based energy startups.
Bill Gates
The machines need to get faster. They need to get cheaper.
Bill Gates
Corruption is one of the most common reasons I hear in views that criticize aid.
Bill Gates
Eventually you won't think of 'the Internet business.' You'll think of it more like news, weather, sports, but even that taxonomy isn't clear.
Bill Gates
The most important 'speed' issue is often not technical but cultural. It's convincing everyone that the company's survival depends on everyone moving as fast as possible.
Bill Gates
Sometimes we do get taken by surprise. For example, when the Internet came along, we had it as a fifth or sixth priority.
Bill Gates
In order to deal with all the medical cost demands and other challenges in the U.S., as we look to raise that revenue, the rich will have to pay slightly more. That's quite clear.
Bill Gates
AIDS itself is subject to incredible stigma.
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 Internet will help achieve friction free capitalism by putting buyer and seller in direct contact and providing more information to both about each other.
Bill Gates
Software is definitely engineering. It's different in that we take on novel tasks every time. It's not like building a certain bridge that is virtually identical to some previous bridge or some previous building.
Bill Gates
If you've found some way to educate yourself about engineering, stocks, or whatever it is, good employers will have some type of exam or interview and see a sample of your work.
