More quotes by Ed Koch
I probably have another two or three years. Or I can pass tomorrow, but it doesn't make a difference to me.

I love being the mayor. I want to be the mayor forever.
Ed Koch
When I was first elected I got 50% of the vote in '77 in the general election. In '81 I got 75%. In '85, I got 78%. No mayor has ever gotten that high a vote. So it was not an issue. Except for people who were very hostile to me. They thought they would injure me.
Ed Koch
I'm not the type to get ulcers. I give them.
Ed Koch
There's enormous energy required to carry grudges - enormous energy! And I'm getting too old to expend my energy that way, cause I think every person has a limited amount of energy. So I have given up all grudges.

Ed Koch
There's a nastiness out there that wants to harm me with words. These are my enemies - the ideologues, the populists, the columnists who don't like the fact that I take them on toe-to-toe. What I try to do is tell the truth. It's not the coin of the realm in politics.
Ed Koch
It is not possible to remake the world. You can fix parts, but you can't remake the world.
Ed Koch
In action be primitive in foresight, a strategist.
Ed Koch
If you don't like the President, it costs you 90 bucks to fly to Washington to picket. If you don't like the governor, it costs you 60 bucks to fly to Albany to picket. If you don't like me - 90 cents.
Ed Koch
I never doubted that I would be a good mayor. I never did.
Ed Koch
Carter couldn't elect a dog-catcher.
Ed Koch
Have you ever lived in the suburbs? It's sterile. It's nothing. It's wasting your life.

Ed Koch
