We have come too far to go back, my friends.

I have a bold plan to break from the Bloomberg years, and end the 'Tale of Two Cities' by providing real opportunity to all New Yorkers, no matter where they live.

If we can have a fast food restaurant on almost every corner, then we can certainly have a garden.

We are New Yorkers. Proud citizens of the greatest city on earth. Thinking big isn't new to us. It is the very foundation of who we are.

At a certain point, particularly in his third term, Mayor Bloomberg lost touch with the people he was serving.

Everything you heard about me is true. . . . I am not a free marketer. . . . I believe in the heavy hand of government.

I have an activist's desire to improve people's lives.

I believe there's an emerging American majority for progressive economic change.

There is nothing wrong with listening. You can listen to people; you can hear people's concerns. You can keep an open mind and still be perfectly strong.

While this has been a private part of my family's life, it is now clear a media story will soon emerge. My father tragically ended his life while battling terminal cancer in 1979.

I've always had a very positive relationship with the municipal labor unions - a respectful relationship.

Just because you fall once, doesn't mean you're fall at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always trust yourself, because if you don't then who will??

All that is considered truth and undoubted will sooner or later get into the sub consciousness

Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

Always remember that it is impossible to speak in such a way that you cannot be misunderstood: there will always be some who misunderstand you.

Its like people care more abput their pride than about what's correct, about the truth.

Don't cry over spilled milk

I think women are too valuable to be in combat.

Life did not intend to make us perfect. Whoever is perfect belongs in a museum.

When I watch comedy I love to see that pleasure in the performer's eye and that sense of cheek - and even those moments when you can see someone is trying not to laugh.

Blessed are those who know what on earth they are here on earth to do and set themselves about the business of doing it.
