"Effective philanthropy requires a lot of time..." - Quote by Bill Gates

“In my 20s, I worked very, very hard. I have a much more balanced life now.”

“Only through focus can you do world-class things, no matter how capable you are.”

“Investing in tomorrow's technology today is more critical than ever.”

“Philanthropic and religious bodies do not commonly make their executive officers out of saints.”

“I regard philanthropy as a tragic apology for wrong conditions under which human beings live.”

“I went to bed hungry many nights as a child. It was a Dream that dressed me up when I was ragged, and it was a Dream that filled me up when I was hungry. Now it's my Dream to see that no child in this world ever goes hungry, certainly not here in America, the most bountiful country in the world. We can do better...we must!”

“The web is just going to be one more of those major change factors that businesses face every decade.”

“The business aspect is one of the most important things about having a music career, because every choice you make in a management meeting affects your life a year-and-a-half from now.”

“I think about what's the best way to serve people. In business, if you do more for others than anybody else does, you dominate. That's the bottom line.”
