I have a social life. But I don't discuss it.
Ed Koch

Ed Koch
In a neighborhood, as in life, a clean bandage is much, much better than a raw or festering wound.
Ed Koch
Be different-if you don't have the facts and knowledge required, simply listen. When word gets around that you can listen when others tend to talk, you will be treated as a sage.
Ed Koch
You don't have to love them. You just have to respect their rights.
Ed Koch

I happen to believe that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality. It’s whatever God made you. It happens that I’m heterosexual, but I don’t care about that.

Ed Koch
[The UN should remain in New York] because every country needs a cesspool. And the UN is always interesting as a theater of the absurd.
Ed Koch

Ed Koch
Maybe he just looks good compared to the bores he's running against.
Ed Koch
Clinton has more important things to worry about. He not only risks being destroyed historically, like Afghanistan's Buddha statues he also could end up going to jail.
Ed Koch
I wake up every morning and say to myself, Well, I'm still in New York. Thank you, God.
Ed Koch
I said, to be a New Yorker you have to live here for six months, and if at the end of the six months you find you walk faster, talk faster, think faster, you're a New Yorker.
Ed Koch
We should sell them to our worst enemies, the Russians and the Cubans.
Ed Koch
I intend to vote for President George W. Bush in the next election, because in my view, he is best able to wage the war against international terrorism.
Ed Koch
If I were running against Chuck Schumer. I would take every one of his Sunday press releases - and there are 52 for as many years as he's been there - and I would ask, 'How many of the things he said he was proposing became law?' I doubt many.
Ed Koch
Deals are my art form. Other people paint beautifully on canvas or write wonderful poetry. I like making deals, preferably big deals. That's how I get my kicks.
