Human-centered design. Meeting people where they are and really taking their needs and feedback into account.

Melinda Gates
If you look back at history, [Dale ] Carnegie highlighted the need for libraries to be a place where everyone could go to read if you didn't have access to books.

If you invest in a girl or a woman, you are investing in everybody else.
Melinda Gates
When girls are educated and free to pursue their passions, they contribute more to a thriving society. When women have a voice, they raise it to demand a life that is greater than what they've been told they have a right to expect. And these demands change the future for everyone.
Melinda Gates

Melinda Gates
As a parent, the responsible thing to do - if you love your child - is to vaccinate your child.
