About this quote
This saying is widely attributed to Gates but multiple fact-checkers and Quote Investigator found no evidence that he ever said or wrote it. A similar idea appears in Frank B. Gilbreth Sr.'s writings from 1920, and a version was cited in a 1947 U.S. Senate hearing. The attribution to Gates appears to be a modern internet misattribution, and it cannot be verified in any of his books, interviews, or speeches.
