More quotes by Eric Schmidt
Technology will move faster than governments, so don't legislate before you understand the consequences.
Eric Schmidt
The characteristic of great innovators and great companies is they see a space that others do not. They don't just listen to what people tell them they actually invent something new, something that you didn't know you needed, but the moment you see it, you say, 'I must have it.'
Eric Schmidt

The core problem is that the world is full of people who would like to take 99 per cent of the information that's on the Internet, and eliminate 1 per cent. Everyone has their own thing they don't like.
Eric Schmidt
The Internet of things will augment your brain.

The funny thing about advertising is that it's not a zero-sum game... Historically, in the digital ad world, pie has gotten larger and it's possible for everyone to win, and it's perfectly possible that will continue to be true for quite some time.
Eric Schmidt
I do want to emphasize that we've seen an explosion in the use of Google Maps and Google Earth for education. The earth is a special place. It is our home and it's why we're all here. And the ability to see what's really going on the earth, the good stuff and the bad stuff, at the level that you can, is phenomenal.
Eric Schmidt
The thing that people seem to miss about not just Google, but also our competitors, Yahoo, eBay and so forth, is that there's an awful lot of communities that have never been served by traditional media.
Eric Schmidt
Brands are the solution, not the problem. Brands are how you sort out the cesspool.
Eric Schmidt
I actually think most people don't want Google to answer their questions. They want Google to tell them what they should be doing next.
Eric Schmidt
There is a science to managing high tech businesses, and it needs to be respected. One of them is that in technology businesses, leadership is temporary. It's constantly recycling. So the asset has limited lifetime.
Eric Schmidt
Silicon Valley's involvement with Washington dates from one event, which was John Scully - who was the CEO of Apple - had dinner with President Clinton and Vice President Gore in 1993. And we're all going, like, 'What's going on? Why would we have dinner with the president?'
Eric Schmidt
The issues of wireless versus wireline gets very messy. And that's really an FCC issue, not a Google issue.
Eric Schmidt
I use Google+, and I find the quality of the comments are very sophisticated because there is more trust inside of Google+ than there is inside of Twitter and Facebook, for example.
Eric Schmidt
It's because of this fundamental shift towards user-generated information that people will listen more to other people than to traditional resources.
Eric Schmidt
If you thought when you got your job at 20 that it would never change you were misinformed. Retrain yourself to be curious.
Eric Schmidt
For those who say you're thinking too big... be smart enough not to listen. For those who say the odds are too small ... be dumb enough to give it a shot. And for those who ask, how can you do that?... look them in the eyes and say, I'll figure it out.
Eric Schmidt
