Microsoft Inc’s Founder, Chairman and the world’s richest man – Bill Gates,says he will from July 2008 onwards devote more time to charitable works,mainly working with his wife,Melinda Gates,through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,which focuses on global health and education..

In almost a “spiderman” theme quote,Gates said:

I believe with great wealth comes great responsibility - the responsibility to give back to society and make sure those resources are given back in the best possible way, to those in need,” he said. Gates added, “It’s not a retirement, it’s a reordering of my priorities.”

This,of course, wasn’t thhe first time Gates has come up with some witty quotes,he did it many times in the past,among them are:

1983:

“There’s really a lot of dirty software on the market now; we’ll have to educate the developers about how to write better software.”

1999

“The digital world can do better… We have got to make [technology] simpler, we’ve got to make it cheaper, and we’ve got to make it relevant.”
