And we not only paid it off, but we paid it off ahead of time  (David Dinkins Quotes) The art and culture that is New York, communications, finance, all these things help make up New York. The rest of the country should be happy that we are what we are  (David Dinkins Quotes) Some of us claim that New York City is the capital of the country, indeed the capital of the world.

If we use the issue appropriately, we can transform it from the cancer of our society into the cure  (David Dinkins Quotes) Well, I’m not sure, but of one thing I am certain: History judges one differently than contemporary observers, and so I think that as time passes, I hope that not me personally so much, but our administration will be seen for some of the things that we accomplished  (David Dinkins Quotes) Today, certain people file for bankruptcy, businesses and individuals, and it no longer has the stigma it once had. Now it’s almost considered wise, a way to regroup and come back again  (David Dinkins Quotes) I went downtown as a lawyer and then I worked in a liquor store at night, as I had done all through law school.
