More quotes by Melinda Gates
As a parent, the responsible thing to do - if you love your child - is to vaccinate your child.
Melinda Gates
Think, for a moment, about our educational ladder. We've strengthened the steps lifting students from elementary school to junior high, and those from junior high to high school. But, that critical step taking students from high school into adulthood is badly broken. And it can no longer support the weight it must bear.
Melinda Gates
Philanthropy is not about the money. It's about using whatever resources you have at your fingertips and applying them to improving the world.
Melinda Gates
Like in Africa, if somebody doesn't have fuel, they're still going and collecting firewood. If they get an oven, that's a huge difference. You can do things to reduce the inequities by making sure that they can get clean energy, safe energy. To make sure they're not having to collect water every day. That's huge for women in the developing world.
Melinda Gates
Women around the world should have a tool that helps them plan their pregnancies.
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
All of a sudden people in the United States start to realize that vaccines make a difference. The controversy and the myth that's there, we're always trying to bust through that. So when I see a disease outbreak, I say to myself, OK, that'll get people realizing how lucky we are to have vaccines.
Melinda Gates
One life is worth no more or less than any other
Melinda Gates
We started our foundation because we believe we have a real opportunity to help advance equity around the world, to help make sure that, no matter where a person is born, he or she has the chance to live a healthy, productive life.
Melinda Gates
If you invest in a girl or a woman, you are investing in everybody else.
Melinda Gates
My undergraduate work was in computer science and economics. It just happened to be at that time when 34 percent of computer-science majors were women. We didn't realize it was at the peak at the time.
Melinda Gates
Birth control has almost completely and totally disappeared from the global health agenda, and the victims of this paralysis are the people of Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
Melinda Gates
You are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.
Melinda Gates
My background was computer science and business school, so eventually I worked my way up where I was running product groups - development, testing, marketing, user education.
Melinda Gates
Housework comes first, so girls often fall behind in school. Global statistics show that it's increasingly girls, not boys, who don't know how to read.
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
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
Men make different investments than women do. Women tend to invest more of their earnings than men do in their family's well-being - as much as 10 times more.
Melinda Gates
If we don't empower women, we don't allow them to unlock the potential of themselves and their children.
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.
