Bill Gates Quotes

Almost every way we make electricity today, except for the emerging renewables and nuclear, puts out CO2. And so, what we're going to have to do at a global scale, is create a new system. And so, we need energy miracles Picture Quote #1

At Microsoft there are lots of brilliant ideas but the image is that they all come from the top - I'm afraid that's not quite right Picture Quote #1

I actually thought that it would be a little confusing during the same period of your life to be in one meeting when you're trying to make money, and then go to another meeting where you're giving it away Picture Quote #1

I believe that if you show people the problems and you show them the solutions they will be moved to act Picture Quote #1

If I'd had some set idea of a finish line, don't you think I would have crossed it years ago? Picture Quote #1

Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself Picture Quote #1

Now, we put out a lot of carbon dioxide every year, over 26 billion tons. For each American, it's about 20 tons. For people in poor countries, it's less than one ton. It's an average of about five tons for everyone on the planet. And, somehow, we have to make changes that will bring that down to zero Picture Quote #1

Security is, I would say, our top priority because for all the exciting things you will be able to do with computers - organizing your lives, staying in touch with people, being creative - if we don't solve these security problems, then people will hold back Picture Quote #1

There are people who don't like capitalism, and people who don't like PCs. But there's no-one who likes the PC who doesn't like Microsoft Picture Quote #1

Until we're educating every kid in a fantastic way, until every inner city is cleaned up, there is no shortage of things to do Picture Quote #1

We are not even close to finishing the basic dream of what the PC can be Picture Quote #1

Whether it's Google or Apple or free software, we've got some fantastic competitors and it keeps us on our toes Picture Quote #1

The Wright Brothers created the single greatest cultural force since the invention of writing. The airplane became the first World Wide Web, bringing people, languages, ideas, and values together Picture Quote #1

Instead of buying airplanes and playing around like some of our competitors, we've rolled almost everything back into the company Picture Quote #1

The next generation of interesting software will be done on the Macintosh, not the IBM PC Picture Quote #1

I have to say that in 1981, making those decisions, I felt like I was providing enough freedom for 10 years. That is, a move from 64k to 640k felt like something that would last a great deal of time. Well, it didn't - it took about only 6 years before people started to see that as a real problem Picture Quote #1

If people had understood how patents would be granted when most of today's ideas were invented, and had taken out patents, the industry would be at a complete standstill today. The solution to this is patent exchanges with large companies and patenting as much as we can Picture Quote #1

In terms of doing things I take a fairly scientific approach to why things happen and how they happen. I don't know if there's a god or not, but I think religious principles are quite valid Picture Quote #1

It's possible, you can never know, that the universe exists only for me. If so, it's sure going well for me, I must admit Picture Quote #1

About 3 million computers get sold every year in China, but people don't pay for the software. Someday they will, though. As long as they are going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade Picture Quote #1

Like almost everyone who uses e-mail, I receive a ton of spam every day. Much of it offers to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It would be funny if it weren't so irritating Picture Quote #1

If you show people the problems and you show people the solutions they will be moved to act Picture Quote #1

I'm a big believer that as much as possible, and there's obviously political limitations, freedom of migration is a good thing Picture Quote #1

Robots will play an important role in providing physical assistance and even companionship for the elderly Picture Quote #1

The best way to prepare is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and fished out listings of their operating system Picture Quote #1

You've got to be willing to read other people's code, and then write your own, then have other people review your code. You've got to want to be in this incredible feedback loop where you get the world-class people to tell you what you're doing wrong Picture Quote #1

The finest pieces of software are those where one individual has a complete sense of exactly how the program works. To have that, you have to really love the program and concentrate on keeping it simple, to an incredible degree Picture Quote #1

We're no longer in the days where everything is super well crafted. But at the heart of the programs that make it to the top, you'll find that the key internal code was done by a few people who really know what they were doing Picture Quote #1

The worst programs are the ones where the programmers doing the original work don't lay a solid foundation, and then they're not involved in the program in the future Picture Quote #1

Programs today get very fat; the enhancements tend to slow the programs down because people put in special checks. When they want to add some feature, they'll just stick in these checks without thinking how they might slow the thing down Picture Quote #1
