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. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000045839

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000094765
The public is upset. If they haven't lost their job, they know somebody that has. If they haven't lost their house, they know somebody that has. What do you do? When something's wrong, it's government's job to fix it, it must be government that's responsible for causing it. -- Michael Bloomberg

Nobody wants a job where they don't have authority to go along with the responsibility. Quite the contrary. The more authority you give people, the better people you can attract, and the harder they're going to work, and the more loyal they are going to be. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000096460
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. -- Michael Bloomberg

Progress really is possible. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000096487

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000096488
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

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000102014

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000108845
When I came into office, people said, 'Billionaire? How do they live? What do they eat? How do they sleep?' Today, they see me on the subway coming uptown. A couple of people say hi, some people smile and nod. Some people just sleep. It's not an issue. -- Michael Bloomberg

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. -- Michael Bloomberg

In 1975, Congress passed a law requiring fuel efficiency standards to double over 10 years, with incremental targets that auto manufacturers were required to meet.

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000438915

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000459122
Leading from the front: It's what built America. But these days, the federal government isn't at the front - it's cowering in the back corner of the room, ducking responsibility and hoping no one notices. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000468361

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000479685
Five years have come, and five years have gone, and still we stand together as one. We come back to this place to remember the heartbreaking anniversary - and each person who died here - those known and unknown to us, whose absence is always with us. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000486507

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000588592
You have to take away some of tax breaks for the wealthy, and you have to cut back on some entitlements. Because, unless we do all of these things, it just doesn't work. And what's good theater and what's good politics isn't necessarily good economic policy. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000606823

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000627270

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000656072
Canada sets aside 36 percent of their visas for people with skills they think their country needs. We set aside six percent. We educate the doctors, and then don't give 'em a green card. -- Michael Bloomberg

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000690470

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000691444
You can't define what's middle class, what is wealthy, what is poor. -- Michael Bloomberg

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000704300
I've always respected those who tried to change the world for the better, rather than just complain about it. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000725060

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000749612
The truth of the matter is: you can create a great legacy, and inspire others, by giving it to philanthropic organizations. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000763630
And I think the more money you put in people's hands, the more they will spend. And if they don't spend it, they invest it. And investing it is another way of creating jobs. It puts money into mutual funds or other kinds of banks that can go out and make loans, and we need to do that. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000773182
What you've got to do is be honest. Say what you believe. Give it to them straight. Just don't wuss out. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000777607
A lot can happen in a week - just read any Bible, .. On the seventh day, Election Day, unlike the Bible, we can't rest. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000800787
Today, as an independent, an entrepreneur, and a former mayor, I believe we need a president who is a problem solver, not a bomb thrower. Someone who can bring members of Congress together to get things done. And I know Hillary Clinton can do that because I saw it firsthand. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000813093
We will rebuild, renew and remain the capital of the free world. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000836748
We have an energy policy - we're transferring our wealth to overseas to a bunch of countries that don't have the same values as us. In some cases, they're using our money to finance terrorism against us. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000857715
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. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000858236
I'm trying to change the culture in New York City; that's hard enough! -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000906127
You can't sit there and worry about everything. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000946394
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. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000962197
You can't depend on polls. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000976548
Whatever you may think of the proposed mosque and community center, lost in the heat of the debate has been a basic question: Should government attempt to deny private citizens the right to build a house of worship on private property based on their particular religion? -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000987217
We have an expression in New York City government - "In God we trust, but for everyone else, bring data." It's so easy to pick up a sound byte and say, "Oh, yeah, yeah, I believe that," without really thinking. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000987928
We can only solve our biggest problems if we come together and embrace the freedoms that our Founding Fathers established right here in Philadelphia, which permitted our ancestors to create the great American exceptionalism that all of us now enjoy. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 000992986

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001060151
When you go to Washington now, you can feel a sense of fear in the air - the fear to do anything, or say anything, that might affect the polls, or give the other side an advantage, or offend a special interest. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001068868
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. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001070048
I think if you look at people, whether in business or government, who haven't had any moral compass, who've just changed to say whatever they thought the popular thing was, in the end they're losers. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001110476
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
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001113093
The level of analysis that is done when you see laws created, whether it's the city or state or federal level - it's much more horse-trading than analysis. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001114415
No matter what you may think about her politics or her record, Hillary Clinton understands that this is not reality television; this is reality. She understands the job of president. It involves finding solutions, not pointing fingers; and offering hope, not stoking fear. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001122207
And because no matter who you are, if you believe in yourself and your dream, New York will always be the place for you. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001157197
We should remember it wasn't so long ago that confidence in New York was in short supply. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001157798
America was built by immigrants. Almost nobody that I know is any more than three generations, maybe four generations, American. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001168341
Working collectively and collaboratively is the difference between mediocrity by yourself or success as a team. You have to share the pain and the responsibility and if you do then you will also share in the rewards. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001170242
I am heading straight in. I have earned my place in heaven. It's not even close. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001178528

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001214309

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001217546
I never lie, so if somebody asked me a question, I told them. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001231789
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. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001234436
I think one of the great dangers here is going and categorizing anybody from one religion as a terrorist. That's not true ... That would let the terrorists win. That's what they want us to do. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001242606
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. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001245749
What the Democrats have to understand is that while we do need to reform our regulation and we do need more restrictions, it is true that it is capitalism and free enterprise and companies that create jobs and wealth for every American. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001252649
We're America, and we have to stop worrying about what happens overseas, and to be optimistic, even though nobody should think we're not going to have some difficult times. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001274672

You bet I did and I enjoyed it. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001278923

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001283320
Mayors are very different, because mayors can't be on both sides of every issue. Mayors have to take an explicit stance. Just go with your gut and say what you believe, and you'll be fine. If you're not fine, at least you'll like what you see in the mirror. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001285327
Nobody is going to delegate a lot of power to a secretary that they can't control. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001300039
In our democracy, near equality is no equality. Government either treats everyone the same, or it doesn't. And right now it doesn't. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001303633
Buy what's deliverable, not what could be. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001314462

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001344112

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001345874
Today, you're a piranha if you are seen having coffee with somebody from the other party in many cases. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001348000
We're paying more for the privilege of getting sick and dying early. Once again, it makes no sense. And once again, no one in Washington is talking about how to fix it. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001350623

We will go forward ... we will never go back. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001363787

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001379745
Life is too short to spend your time avoiding failure, -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001386283
Ironically, it is exactly because we are a city that embraces freedom, that welcomes everyone and encourages their dreams, that New York remains on the front lines in the war on terror. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001403785
My personal view is, why don't you get out there and try to do something about the things that you don't like, create the jobs that we are lacking, rather than just yell and scream. But if you want to yell and scream, we'll make sure you can do it. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001407041

Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001478774
I'm not going to run for president. No way, no how. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001481090
The one thing computers have done is let us make bigger mistakes. We have to be careful not to depend on our machines. -- Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg Quotes : pic 001487752
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? -- Michael Bloomberg
