I wish we could have state-of-the-art hospitals in every corner of the earth... but realistically, it's going to be a while before that can happen. But we can immunise every kid on earth, and we can prevent these diseases. It's only a matter of political will, a little bit of money and some systems to do it.

As medical research continues and technology enables new breakthroughs, there will be a day when malaria and most all major deadly diseases are eradicated on Earth.

Even if you're Bill Gates, you've got problems. I'm sure he would probably easily give a few billion dollars to get rid of all the problems that he has.

There is this permanent hope in America that there is some new technology around the corner that will change the world.

Bill Gates has become the patron saint of philanthropy and the poster child of rebirth, and from what I can tell, rightly so.

Many badly needed goals, like fusion and cancer cure, would be achieved much sooner if we invested more.

I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries.

We have got to change our ethics and our financial system and our whole way of understanding the world. It has to be a world in which people live rather than die; a sustainable world. It could be great.

The competition between me and Bill Gates, probably: Who can spend money more effectively that can do better philanthropy.

The more we can purge ourselves of the diseases we create the more we can become magnificent people.
