More quotes by Bill Gates
When you are failing, you are forced to be creative, to dig deep and think, night and day.
Bill Gates
People who feel the world is tilted against them will spawn the kind of hatred that is very dangerous for all of us. I think it's a healthy sign that there are demonstrators in the streets. They are raising the question of 'is the rich world giving back enough?'
Bill Gates
More and more software would just increase the number of tasks that the computer would help solve.
Bill Gates
Software suppliers are trying to make their software packages more 'user-friendly'... Their best approach so far has been to take all the old brochures and stamp the words 'user-friendly' on the cover.
Bill Gates
Does the e-mail say it's about 'enlargement' - that might be spam.
Bill Gates
We weren't trying to just go public and get rich. There was no near-term thing. It always was this many-decades thing where there were no shortcuts and we'd sort of put one foot in front of the other.
Bill Gates
The machines need to get faster. They need to get cheaper.
Bill Gates
Who decides what's in Windows? The customers who buy it.
Bill Gates
Energy is actually harder it takes more time to get a product, but if you do it's a very, very big market and the constraints of doing that in a clean way are more obvious all the time.
Bill Gates
I hope you will judge yourselves not on your professional accomplishments alone, but also on how well you have addressed the world's deepest inequities...on how well you treated people a world away who have nothing in common with you but your humanity.
Bill Gates
Long-term vision and product strategy.
Bill Gates
The most important thing was the creation of a... a standard, where hundreds of companies build hardware that can all run the same software.
Bill Gates
Innovation is a good thing. The human condition - put aside bioterrorism and a few footnotes - is improving because of innovation.
Bill Gates
It's not easy to remember, but IBM was the computer industry when I was growing up. You loved 'em. You hated 'em. You knew what they were doing. They had set a standard for mainframes. They also set a standard for great sales focus and heavy product R & D.
Bill Gates
That's the part where the governments have a unique role, and then when it progresses well enough, then existing companies or new startup companies should take it. In the $3 trillion a year energy market, the rewards will be quite fantastic.
Bill Gates
I believe that if you show people the problems and you show them the solutions they will be moved to act.
Bill Gates
If you withdraw the incredible focus on polio, it will spread back, and in poor countries you'll get something like 100,000 cases a year. So by being very intense and getting the cases down to zero, what you do is you avoid all the future cases.
Bill Gates
Over time, yes, countries will need to look at specific GMO products like they look at drugs today, where they don't approve them all. They look hard at the safety and the testing. And they make sure that the benefits far outweigh any of the downsides.
Bill Gates
Sometimes, I think my most important job as a CEO is to listen for bad news. If you don't act on it, your people will eventually stop bringing bad news to your attention and that is the beginning of the end.
Bill Gates
Contraception really shouldn't be all that controversial because it's a tool a woman can use to delay her first birth until she's, say, 18 or 19 years old.
Bill Gates
