I believe in the power of science and innovation to solve the world's biggest problems.

The goal is to empower people, not to replace them.

The challenge is to make sure that the benefits of technology are shared by everyone.

The world is getting smaller, and we're all connected.

The world needs more philanthropists.

The power of software is that it can be infinitely customized.

The future of healthcare is personalized medicine.

The world is a complex place, and there are no simple solutions.

The most important thing is to be optimistic.

If I'd had some better grades in math, I probably would have been an astrophysicist. I would have loved to have been an astrophysicist. But I'm not that good at math.

We're still in the Dark Ages of how to use this stuff.

The most amazing thing about the Internet is that it's a completely open platform. Anyone can build anything on it. And that's what makes it so powerful.

I don't think there's anything unique about me. I think I'm just a normal person who got lucky.

I have been struck again and again by how important measurement is to improving the human condition.

The great thing about a computer is that when you make a mistake, it's not your fault.

I'm not a big fan of the word 'genius.' I think it's overused.

The personal computer will be the most important tool for the next generation.

I'm a big believer in the idea that if you want to get something done, you have to do it yourself.

The Internet is a platform for innovation, and it's going to continue to be that way.

The Internet is a global phenomenon, and it's going to continue to grow.
