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.

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 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.
Eric Schmidt
It's a bug that cars were invented before computers.
Eric Schmidt
