europe cost investing
China is investing in factories in Eastern Europe, not because their labor costs are lower, but because they want to be closer to their markets.
believe technology government
I don't believe that government is good at picking technology, particularly technology that is changing. By the time you get it done and go through democracy, it's so outdated.
advice path constant
To a contrarian like me, constant advice not to do something almost always starts me quickly down the risky, unpopular path.
health people use
People use so much more health care when they live longer.
new-york long-ago remember
We should remember it wasn't so long ago that confidence in New York was in short supply.
hands play enemy
We would betray our values and play into our enemies' hands if we were to treat Muslims differently than anyone else. In fact, to cave to popular sentiment would be to hand a victory to the terrorists, and we should not stand for that.
inspirational success jobs
I've got the greatest job in the world. There's no other job in government where cause and effect is so tightly coupled where you can make a difference every day in so many different ways and in so many different people's lives. It's a great challenge.
fun empty stomach
It's no fun to protest on an empty stomach.
america decision would-be
There is no business in America that would be prevented from taking results into account when making personnel decisions.
reason should threat
We all must recognize that homeland security funds should be allocated by threat and no other reason.
thinking winning want
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.
jobs decision looks
You don't make spending decisions, investment decisions, hiring decisions, or whether-you're-going-to-look-for-a-job decisions when you don't know what's going to happen.
acceptance cities tolerance
We may not always agree with every one of our neighbors. That's life. And it's part of living in such a diverse and dense city. But we also recognize that part of being a New Yorker is living with your neighbors in mutual respect and tolerance. It was exactly that spirit of openness and acceptance that was attacked on 9/11, 2001.
heart cities forever
The World Trade Center site will forever hold a special place in our city, in our hearts. But we would be untrue to the best part of ourselves and who we are as New Yorkers and Americans if we said no to a mosque in lower Manhattan.
