Chicago Quotes

Growing up in Chicago, there was a very particular type of home that would display the black Jesus figure. It wasn’t a radical home. You wouldn’t find these in a Black Panther house. There’s still a strong allegiance to Christianity Picture Quote #1

Did Rahm Emmanuel serve President Barack] Obama or did he serve himself as he prepared to run for Mayor of Chicago? I don’t use the term black-on-black violence, since I’ve never heard the term white-on-white violence Picture Quote #1

I love cookbooks for completely different reasons. I love ‘The Harry’s Bar Cookbook’ and Marco-Pierre White’s ‘White Heat’ for their feel. For pure learning, Gray Kunz wrote a great cookbook, ‘The Elements of Taste’, published in 2001. The first time I read Charlie Trotter’s, the Chicago chef’s first cookbook, I was blown away Picture Quote #1

Chicago fans cheer and boo who they want. They’re great fans whether they like me or not. They show you how they feel. I don’t like crowds that sit on their hands Picture Quote #1

I was an accountant in Chicago, and a friend of mine, Ed Gallagher, was in advertising. At 4:30 every day I’d be bored, and I would call him. He’d interview me Picture Quote #1

I was born on the west side of Chicago, and there was quite a bit of poverty. My family and I didn’t have exactly the best or the most optimal financial situation in my youth, but we turned out well. My mom always made sure that we got a proper education and that we dedicated ourselves to our work Picture Quote #1

Even when I lived in Chicago and I didn’t have any family there, I would just go like I would be a guest and have dinner with a bunch of friends and do potluck or something. So I think that’s it, just finding people that you love that love you and hang out with them Picture Quote #1

I love Chicago. I got on a bus and asked the driver, Do you go to the Loop? He said, No, I go beep-beep! Picture Quote #1

I’ve very proud to be mayor of our great city. It’s a city with a heart and a soul. Chicago has a unique spirit. Our business community wants to give back Picture Quote #1

Everybody would love to be mayor of Chicago. If you look at what we have done over many, many years and where we are today and the commitment by the business community, the commitment by the not-for-profit community - all this coming together - this is a wonderful city Picture Quote #1

When I was training for the Chicago Marathon, I would eat a cup of cereal after an 18-mile long run, and then I’d have to get out the door with nothing but a granola bar in my hand. I can’t change my busy schedule with my kids, but I can work harder to improve in this area. I think it’s a part of training that most of us find difficult Picture Quote #1

When I come to Chicago, I gorge myself. I get off the plane and start with Gene and Jude’s for two hot dogs with everything, swing by The Fudge Pot for a taffy apple and a turtle, chocolate clusters at Sarah’s Pastries and Candies and steak at Smith and Wollensky. I find time for Gino’s pizza within the next 12 hours Picture Quote #1

I loved ‘Chicago Code;’ I watched that a lot. It was great because it really captured the city - I’m from Chicago, too Picture Quote #1

Every business decision I ever made I learned from my grandfather Papa Sam. He moved here from Russia when he was a boy. He worked his way up selling newspapers and ladies’ handbags, and eventually, he became Cadillac Sam, one of the biggest car dealers in Chicago Picture Quote #1

I’ve been in radio, God, twenty years. I started as a stand-up comedian. I wanted to be Carol Burnett when I was growing up. Radio was just kind of an accident. I did morning radio in my hometown of Buffalo, then went to Rochester, then Chicago, and then New York Picture Quote #1

I want to be on that team that wins the world championship here in Chicago and sees the city go crazy Picture Quote #1

I started off at the Second City in Chicago... It’s an improvisational theater that ostensibly does social and political satire, but when I was there, we generally didn’t. We did character work, and we did just the silliest things we could think of. We weren’t all that concerned with, you know, changing the world through mime Picture Quote #1

Chicago is not the most corrupt American city. It’s the most theatrically corrupt Picture Quote #1

I came out of the old Second City in Chicago. Chicago actors are more hard-nosed. They’re tough on themselves and their fellow actors. They’re self-demanding Picture Quote #1

That’s what I love about Chicago... It is the staccato aspect of the skyscrapers. But the ground is very loose, very relaxed. It makes Chicago far more pleasant than other cities Picture Quote #1

Chicago is a city of contradictions, of private visions haphazardly overlaid and linked together Picture Quote #1

Tonight - by taking this solemn oath - I am no longer a private citizen but the Mayor of the City of Chicago Picture Quote #1

And Kansas City is at Chicago tonight, or is it Chicago at Kansas City? Well, no matter as Kansas City leads in the eighth 4 to 4 Picture Quote #1

In the days and months I spent walking through the various communities of this city, I found that Chicago did not work for everyone, however Picture Quote #1

Before the Great Chicago Fire, no one took notice of Patrick and Catherine O’Leary, two Irish immigrants who lived with their five children on the city’s West Side Picture Quote #1

Chicago is a city of neighborhoods, and I love that. It’s cool to have different foods from all over the world within a stone’s throw of my house Picture Quote #1

Living in Dallas, I root for the Mavericks and the Stars and the Cowboys, but I’ve always pulled for the Chicago Cubs. I enjoy watching them play Picture Quote #1

It would be impossible for me to say when the idea of becoming an owner first came to me. Probably it was a gradual process. The first time the matter was brought to my attention in a concrete form, however, was when Charles Murphy was selling out his controlling interest in the Chicago Cubs Picture Quote #1

Jamie Moyer was in his third year as a major league pitcher and was, by his own admission, still wide-eyed, watching everything going on around him and soaking it in. He paid particular attention to older teammates on his Chicago Cubs squad, hoping to emulate habits that had allowed those veterans to extend their careers Picture Quote #1

Even though I live in and love Chicago, I can’t stand deep-dish pizza. I’m a New York-style pizza person Picture Quote #1
