Quotes:
- “This is the city of dreamers and time and again it’s the place where the greatest dream of all, the American dream, has been tested and has triumphed.“ – Michael Bloomberg
- “We may not always agree with every one of our neighbors. That’s life. And it’s part of living in such a diverse and dense city. But we also recognize that part of being a New Yorker is living with your neighbors in mutual respect and tolerance. It was exactly that spirit of openness and acceptance that was attacked on 9/11, 2001. “ – Michael Bloomberg
- “I will say that walking down the street, getting on the subway, taking the elevator, if there’s one or two people and they say, ‘Great job, Mayor,’ that is a real turn-on. I mean, anybody that wouldn’t find that satisfying, rewarding, exciting, thrilling – I think they should see the doctor. “ – Michael Bloomberg
- “Well, you have the public not wanting any new spending, you have the Republicans not wanting any new taxes, you have the Democrats not wanting any new spending cuts, you have the markets not wanting any new borrowing, and you have the economists wanting all of the above. And that leads to paralysis.“ – Michael Bloomberg
- “America is built around this premise that you can do it, and there are an awful lot of people who are unlikely to have done it who did.“ – Michael Bloomberg
- “Nobody is going to delegate a lot of power to a secretary that they can’t control.“ – Michael Bloomberg
