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.

One of the unintended negative consequences of online advertising has been the loss of value in traditional classifieds. It's simply quicker, simply easier for an end user who's online, on a broadband connection, to look things up and to figure out what they want to buy.
Eric Schmidt
Ultimately, in the Internet, openness has always won. I cannot imagine that the current competitive environment would reverse that.
Eric Schmidt
The issues of wireless versus wireline gets very messy. And that's really an FCC issue, not a Google issue.
Eric Schmidt
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.
Eric Schmidt
The more broadband we can get globally, the better. It's better for the world it's better for our advertisers it's better for Google.
Eric Schmidt

Eric Schmidt
