"We paired this announcement of the R&D..." - Quote by Bill Gates

“Philanthropy, although it's tiny compared to the government, it's 2% of the US economy, which is the largest percentage, other than the Middle East.”

“Is the rich world aware of how four billion of the six billion live? If we were aware, we would want to help out, we'd want to get involved.”

“Make sure people get educated, help out with health emergencies. Those things, the government should do. That's 96 per cent of the economy, those two sectors.”

“I have spent my life going from mania to mania. Somehow it has all paid off.”

“Any kind of political campaign that taps the kind of energy that nothing else can reach would generate a tremendous high for everybody involved in it.”

“I would model well-being by presenting myself as a high-energy person who loves what I am doing and who is thrilled to be able to offer books, tapes, and products designed to make people feel good. I would explain that they are in a store filled with this kind of energy and that creating such a space is exactly why I got into the business in the first place. If you want to feel good, then my store is the place you should visit on a regular basis. I would stay very informed about what's out there and make sure I carry many things with very high energy.”

“It is possible to invent a house still more convenient and luxurious than we have...but shall we always study to obtain more of these things, and not sometimes to be content with less?”

“... when a big man has a big idea I never like to stand in his way.”

“Almost all the other fellows do not look from the facts to the theory but from the theory to the facts; they cannot get out of the network of already accepted concepts; instead, comically, they only wriggle about inside.”
