Michael Bloomberg Quotes

If you think of all the publicity about the terrible tragedy of Virginia Tech, we have a Virginia Tech in this country every day. It’s just spread across 50 states Picture Quote #1

If you really believe that you’re making a difference and that you can leave a legacy of better schools and jobs and safer streets, why would you not spend the money? The objective is to improve the schools, bring down crime, build affordable housing, clean the streets - not to have a fair fight Picture Quote #1

The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry. But we live in a complex world where you’re going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Last I looked - and I’m not a candidate - but last time I checked reading about the Constitution, the Electoral College has nothing to do with parties, has absolutely nothing to do with parties. It’s most states are winners take all Picture Quote #1

Look, we live in a very dangerous world. We know there are people who want to take away our freedoms. New Yorkers probably know that as much if not more than anybody else after the terrible tragedy of 9/11 Picture Quote #1

The CIA will only hire people with impeccable credentials to be a translator. ‘Impeccable credentials’ means you’ve never lived outside the United States Picture Quote #1

There’s a fascinating statistic: One out of every four people in America has visited New York since 9/11. It is astounding. Now, I don’t know how you count it; it’s some people coming multiple times Picture Quote #1

Unemployment in America today is too high. And part of the reason, unfortunately, is that many companies cannot fill the high-skilled jobs increasingly at risk of going overseas Picture Quote #1

America was built by immigrants. Almost nobody that I know is any more than three generations, maybe four generations, American Picture Quote #1

Most gun dealers follow the law and run honest businesses. But the statistics show that 1 percent of dealers sell more than half of all illegal guns. Why isn’t the federal government going after them? Here’s one reason: unlike mayors, members of Congress don’t get a phone call in the middle of the night when a cop is shot and killed. They don’t deliver the eulogies Picture Quote #1

Most people won’t have opportunity to do full-time service, but those lucky enough to have monetary wealth or some spare time really can make an enormous difference. As someone who’s now in the public sector, and is seeing up-close-and-personal the real impact of what we do and what we give, I can tell you: every dollar and every volunteer help, in more ways than you can count Picture Quote #1

The press really is not doing its job of holding the candidates’ feet to the fire. The tough questions are not what are you in favor of, but how are you going to get it through Congress? Picture Quote #1

Our climate is changing. And while the increase in extreme weather we have experienced in New York City and around the world may or may not be the result of it, the risk that it may be - given the devastation it is wreaking - should be enough to compel all elected leaders to take immediate action Picture Quote #1

When it comes to public school education, we have been unwilling to measure our results. We’ve been unwilling to pay based on performance. We have tenure where, even if you can’t teach, you can’t get fired. We’ve been unwilling to invest in new schools Picture Quote #1

The estate taxes, on balance, are good. They get people to give money to charity, and they prevent these family dynasties which keep other people from having opportunities. It may be good for a family, but for society it’s probably not good. And I’ve always been in favor of having an estate tax Picture Quote #1

After all, the same steps that reduce carbon pollution also clean the air we breathe, which saves lives and reduces disease Picture Quote #1

I don’t have a problem with a woman being president; I just want the best candidate Picture Quote #1

I don’t know why you should be proud of something. It doesn’t make you any better or worse. You are what you are Picture Quote #1

The Russian economy is way down because of the price of oil, and because the USSR was a big chunk of it Picture Quote #1

Ten years have passed since a perfect blue sky morning turned into the blackest of nights. Since then we’ve lived in sunshine and in shadow, and although we can never unsee what happened here, we can also see that children who lost their parents have grown into young adults, grandchildren have been born and good works and public service have taken root to honor those we loved and lost Picture Quote #1

We have to get control of our borders. You can only do that if you make companies obey the law and not hire undocumented or illegals. They can only do that is if they have a Social Security Card that has biometrics so they know whether the person is legal or not Picture Quote #1

Being an entrepreneur isn’t really about starting a business. It’s a way of looking at the world: seeing opportunity where others see obstacles, taking risks when others take refuge Picture Quote #1

I’ve always respected those who tried to change the world for the better, rather than just complain about it Picture Quote #1

I’m trying to change the culture in New York City; that’s hard enough! Picture Quote #1

By speeding the transition to cleaner energy, we can improve the lives of billions of people, while also reducing the risks we face from a changing climate Picture Quote #1

Cities with clean air gain an economic advantage, because where people want to live and work, businesses want to invest Picture Quote #1

Don’t be afraid to assert yourself, have confidence in your abilities and don’t let the bastards get you down Picture Quote #1

Nobody is going to delegate a lot of power to a secretary that they can’t control Picture Quote #1

In science, a path that turns out to be a dead end is very useful because you don’t devote resources to focusing on that; you go elsewheres Picture Quote #1
