More quotes by Eric Schmidt
Technology will move faster than governments, so don't legislate before you understand the consequences.

People are building communities of people who use video. They're sharing them. YouTube's traffic continues to grow very quickly.
Eric Schmidt
It looks like the thing that separates out the capable students from the really successful ones is not so much their knowledge...but their persistence at something.
Eric Schmidt
We have an opportunity for everyone in the world to have access to all the world's information. This has never before been possible. Why is ubiquitous information so profound? It's a tremendous equalizer. Information is power.
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

You can understand Tunisia revolution as a failure to censor the internet. And Libya had that failure too. It's very difficult for governments that are autocratic and don't have broad popular support to be in power when a lot of people have these devices. That was what Arab Spring was about, that people could express this and lead to revolution.

If you have a child, you'll notice they have two states: asleep or online.
Eric Schmidt
The computing world is very good at things that we are not. It is very good at memory.
Eric Schmidt
Find a way to say “Yes” to things. Say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. Yes is how you get your first job, and your next job. Yes is how you find your spouse, and even your kids.
Eric Schmidt
The average American doesnt realize how much of the laws are written by lobbyists.
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
It's very difficult for governments to dominate the Internet because it's so difficult to control. People want to be free. People want to hear multiple voices. They want to make their own decisions. And people who see things will report things.
Eric Schmidt
We don't have a traditional strategy process, planning process like you'd find in traditional technical companies. It allows Google to innovate very, very quickly, which I think is a real strength of the company.
Eric Schmidt
We run the company by questions, not by answers.
Eric Schmidt
I think of Google as a set of overlapping things. It's a consumer platform, consumer phenomenon of which search is its fundamental activity, but there are many other things you can do than search... I think of Google as an advertising company who services the broader advertising industry in the ways that you know.
Eric Schmidt
If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
