More quotes by 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.

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.

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.

The policy of America to deny visas to technically trained people in the U.S. and shipped to other countries, where they create companies that compete with America, has to be the stupidest policy of all the U.S. government policies.

The coach doesn't have to play the sport as well as you do. They have to watch you and get you to be your best.

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.

People are building communities of people who use video. They're sharing them. YouTube's traffic continues to grow very quickly.

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
By the summer of 2012, the majority of the televisions you see in stores will have Google TV embedded.
Eric Schmidt
Technology is always evolving, and companies.. not just search companies.. can't be afraid to take advantage of change.
Eric Schmidt
Technology will move faster than governments, so don't legislate before you understand the consequences.
Eric Schmidt
Washington - having spent a lot of time there, I grew up there and have spent a lot of time there recently - is largely defined by detailed analytical views and policy choices that are not very good. You know, each policy choice has a winner and a loser, right? Somebody's ox is getting gored.
Eric Schmidt
We know where you are. We know where you've been. We can more or less know what you're thinking about.
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
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
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 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'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
Washington is an incumbent protection machine. Technology is fundamentally disruptive.
Eric Schmidt
The issues of wireless versus wireline gets very messy. And that's really an FCC issue, not a Google issue.
