Since I have access to every, every crisis in the world because it's always blaring at me on cable television, that doesn't mean I have to worry about every one of them. This is also known as knowing where the 'off' button is.

The trend has been mobile was winning. It's now won.
Eric Schmidt
When companies are growing quickly and they are having a lot of impact, careers take care of themselves.... If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat. Just get on.
Eric Schmidt
When you use Google, do you get more than one answer? Of course you do. Well, that's a bug. We have more bugs per second in the world. We should be able to give you the right answer just once. We should know what you meant.
Eric Schmidt
I've never met a person who does not want a safer world, better medical care and education for their children, and peace with their neighbours. I just don't meet those people. What I meet, over and over again, as I travel around, is that the essential human condition is optimistic - in every one of these places.
Eric Schmidt
It's a mistake to predict the size of markets that are so new. This model has shown no signs of slowing down. So we are going to get as much of it as we possibly can, and when we get close to that we'll figure out other problems.
Eric Schmidt
I had always assumed that the right way to do it was to these engineers, put them in offices by themselves with doors that they could close so they could think deep thoughts. This is a terrible idea.
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
I'm able to bring business expertise but, more importantly, operating experience. The people here at Google are young. Every day there are lots of new challenges. I keep things focused. The speech I give everyday is: This is what we do. Is what you are doing consistent with that, and does it change the world?
Eric Schmidt
We're about to see an acceleration in technological platforms that, for marketers, will be on a scale rivalled only by the arrival of color TV.
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
Do not be afraid to fail, but also, do not be afraid to succeed.
Eric Schmidt
By the summer of 2012, the majority of the televisions you see in stores will have Google TV embedded.
Eric Schmidt
Technology will move faster than governments, so don't legislate before you understand the consequences.
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
I believe that this notion of self-publishing, which is what Blogger and blogging are really about, is the next big wave of human communication. The last big wave was Web activity. Before that one it was e-mail. Instant messaging was an extension of e-mail, real-time e-mail.
Eric Schmidt
There were 5 Exabytes of information created between the dawn of civilization through 2003, but that much information is now created every 2 days.
Eric Schmidt
There's been spying for years, there's been surveillance for years, and so forth, I'm not going to pass judgement on that, it's the nature of our society.
Eric Schmidt
The computing world is very good at things that we are not. It is very good at memory.
Eric Schmidt
Even though Google may do very well, there will always be an alternative to what Google is doing, and people will always have the free choice... because there's no way for us to prevent them from exercising that choice. That is one of the key aspects of why the Internet has been so successful. No technologies can dominate.
Eric Schmidt
I've come to a view that humans will continue to do what we do well, and that computers will continue to do what they do very well, and the two will coexist, but in different spaces.
Eric Schmidt
