Melinda Gates
You can't save kids just with vaccines.
Melinda Gates
I think it's very important that we instill in our kids that it has nothing to do with their name or their situation that they're growing up in it has to do with who they are as an individual.
Melinda Gates
Abortion has become a very politicised issue that I think countries have to work out themselves. In a lot of countries, people can't even yet agree on what their laws should be.

I care much more about saving the lives of mothers and babies than I do about a fancy museum somewhere.
Melinda Gates
Around the world we have girls in primary school at about the same rate now as boys, but keeping them in quality secondary schools is where the world is lagging. I'm seeing a lot of countries look at this now.
Melinda Gates
It is still just unbelievable to us that diarrhea is one of the leading causes of child deaths in the world.
Melinda Gates
With economic opportunity, sometimes it's making sure that if they're not in a place where they can have good jobs, that when they have economic opportunity, they have digital tools to use.
Melinda Gates
We set out what's going to be our work time versus our foundation time versus family time, and we'll reassess that... sometimes every week.
Melinda Gates
We have to be careful in how we use this light shined on us.
Melinda Gates
We look in our own backyard and say, 'How do we help at-risk families, at risk youth? How do we think through some of the problems affecting the Pacific Northwest and make some change there?'
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. Philanthropy can be a place that'll take a risk or point to areas to make sure they are the right government investments to reduce inequalities.
Melinda Gates
It's really one of my all-time favorite things to do. To go out and really see the kids and visit the moms who are in these programs because I think I really get to see what happens on the ground and connect with them about what changes are that happen in their lives because of some of the giving that we're able to do.
Melinda Gates
Even in decision-making, we work in self-help groups. That is women coming together in small groups of 10 to sometimes 15 women, where they start to get education about their rights, about clean water and sanitation, about how to have a healthy birth. You can bring in all kinds of education to them that way.
