<div class="subtitle"><p><span>Entrepreneur, visionary, investor, philanthropist - Bill Gates is one of the most inspiring leaders in the world.</span></p><p><span><span>On his 63rd birthday, here's a collection of his best quotes that have the net worth of $97 billion, each:</span></span></p><p></p><p><strong>"Life is not fair, get used to it!"</strong></p><p><span>Bill Gates believes life has a tendency to just happen because of the choices we make. The life you create and design for yourself is going to accumulate from the choices you make over time. Unexpected things can derail the dreams, but staying focused can help you put one dream ahead of another. To win big, you sometimes have to take big risks.</span></p><p><strong>"Power comes not from knowledge kept, but from the knowledge shared."</strong></p><p><span><span>Bill Gates spends a lot of time reading. Whether at the office, home, or on the road, he always has a stack of books he's looking forward to reading. As a child, he dreamt a lot. He said that a great deal of that grew out of the fact that he had a chance to read a lot.</span></span></p><p><strong>"Patience is a key element of success."</strong></p><p>Success makes people arrogant and selfish, but that is not the case with Bill Gates. The 'lousy teacher' success only made him wiser. Gates believes it seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose. While he encourages people to celebrate success, he also wants them to understand the importance of heeding the lessons of failure.</p><p><strong>"Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one."</strong></p><p>Bill Gates calls himself a 'geek'. As a child, he had failed in some subjects during his exams, but his friend passed in all. Now, his friend is an engineer in Microsoft, and Gates is the owner. Hard work and diligence took him to where he is today. Gates also indicated that he didn't take a single day off when he was in his twenties.</p><p><strong>"If you are born poor it's not your mistake, but if you die poor it's your mistake."</strong></p><p>Bill Gates once said money has no utility to him beyond a certain point. He has a valid reason to say so, and everyone would agree. Having millions of dollars can give you a certain sense of meaningful freedom. But, beyond that, it's the same hamburger people like returning to.</p><p><strong>"The most amazing philanthropists are people who are actually making a significant sacrifice."</strong></p><section itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageGallery" itemscope="itemscope" class="slideshowPackage" data-packageid="66398797" data-totalslides="7" data-authors="" data-date="28 Oct 2018, 10:48 AM IST"><section itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope="itemscope" class="flt slides" id="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/brilliant-bill-gates-quotes-that-will-inspire-you-to-be-successful/art-of-giving/slideshow/66398923.cms" data-msid="66398923" data-seo="magazines/panache/brilliant-bill-gates-quotes-that-will-inspire-you-to-be-successful/art-of-giving" data-slideno="7" data-totalslides="7" data-title="Art Of Giving"><p itemprop="caption description">Bill Gates, one of the top philanthropists in the world, is known for his generosity.
