Melinda Gates is the wife of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and the co-founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation where they've given back billions of dollars to countless global causes.

Here are some of my favorite inspirational business quotes from former Microsoft manager & philanthropist extraordinaire Melinda Gates:

1)  “If you are successful, it is because somewhere, sometime, someone gave you a life or an idea that started you in the right direction. Remember also that you are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.”

2)  “You are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.”

3)  “The world is full of what seem like intractable problems. Often we let that paralyze us. Instead, let it spur you to action. There are some people in the world that we can't help, but there are so many more that we can."

4)  “What great changes have not been ambitious?”

5)  “Make sure you continue to trust what you know now about yourself and stay true to what you believe in.”

6)  "Philanthropy is not about the money. It's about using whatever resources you have at your fingertips and applying them to improving the world."

7)  "Connect deeply with others. Our humanity is the one thing that we all have in common."

8)  "Whether you volunteer every week or just a few times a year, your time and unique skills are invaluable."

9)  "Deep human connection is ... the purpose and the result of a meaningful life - and it will inspire the most amazing acts of love, generosity, and humanity."

10)  “We have to be careful in how we use this light shined on us.”
