More quotes by Bill Gates
Long-term vision and product strategy.
Bill Gates
The pace of progress in biology creates a foundation that naturally gets picked up by the biotech and pharmaceutical industry to solve rich-world diseases. This is attractive science. It's science that people want to work on.
Bill Gates
Americans want students to get the best education possible. We want schools to prepare children to become good citizens and members of a prosperous American economy.
Bill Gates
The flatter the corporate hierarchy, the more likely it is that employees will communicate bad news and act upon it.
Bill Gates
During the past two centuries, innovation has more than doubled our life span and given us cheap energy and more food. If we project what the world will be like 10 years from now without continuing innovation in health, energy or food, the picture is dark.
Bill Gates
We need to look at less obvious paths, things like the wind in the jet stream, which is very high up. The material science of what type of kite string you would need to connect up to that. That's still at the basic research level.
Bill Gates
... No one is less happy than I am with the performance of Microsoft stock! I've lost tens of billions of dollars this year - if you check, you'll see that's more than most people make in a lifetime!
Bill Gates
The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Bill Gates
Ridiculous sums of money can be confusing.
Bill Gates

Bill Gates
We're only at the beginning of what we have to do here.
Bill Gates
I don't think you're as capable of handling lack of sleep or whatever challenges you throw at your body as you get older. However, I never missed a day of work.
Bill Gates
If you really could take the CO2, when you burn hydrocarbons - coal, for example - if you could really capture the carbon and sequester it - they call it CCS - if the extra capital cost, energy cost, and storage costs over time didn't make it super expensive, then that's another path that you could go down.
Bill Gates
If you were born poor, it's not your fault. But if you die poor it is.
Bill Gates
The huge turnout for Live 8 here and around the world proves that thanks to the leadership from people like Tony Blair and Gordon Brown the world is beginning to demand more action on global health and poverty.
Bill Gates
Treatment without prevention is simply unsustainable.
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
The government's ability to select scientists and pick things that are fairly strange, because politicians don't like failures. They're only in office a short term, and many of these things take a long time.
Bill Gates
Today, the issue isn’t quantity of food as much as it is quality-whether kids are getting enough protein and other nutrients to fully develop.
Bill Gates
[We in Microsoft] are not the only software company but we are a great software company doing some unique work.
Bill Gates
