Citações de vida de Bill Gates
Depuis vingt ans, je vis une aventure incroyable. Tout a commencé dans la cour de Harvard, où j’étais alors en deuxième année. Avec mon ami Paul Allen, nous étions plongés dans la description d’un ordinateur en kit que publiait la revue Popular Electronics: le premier véritable ordinateur personnel. Ni Paul ni moi ne savions exactement à quoi il pourrait servir mais, ce jour-là, nous avons eu la certitude qu’il allait tout changer : notre vie et le monde de l’informatique."

Bill Gates: Frases em inglês
“Choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.”
Sometimes quoted with "difficult" instead of "hard".
A similar thought was expressed by automobile executive Clarence Bleicher in 1947 (before Bill Gates was born): "if you get a tough job, one that is hard, and you haven’t got a way to make it easy, put a lazy man on it, and after 10 days he will have an easy way to do it".

“If you're born poor it's not your fault, but if you die poor it's your fault.”
Quoted in various publications, without any further sourcing. The quote is dubious in view of the Gates Foundation's public mission, "to lift people out of hunger and extreme poverty." Gates was born to an affluent family.
