More quotes by Eliot Spitzer
It's not Big Brother that we now have to be afraid of, but Big Browser.
Eliot Spitzer
Virtually everywhere in the world, people still wake up and want their country to be more like the United States than any other nation. We are the envy of the world because of what we stand for and how our democratic process, flawed as it may often seem to be, operates. We should take pride in that.
Eliot Spitzer
Sometimes in politics, you think you've seen it all. Turns out I was wrong.
Eliot Spitzer
In the melting pot that is America, inclusive trumps exclusive. Whether it's single women, young adults, or minorities, alienating the rapidly growing voting blocs is not smart politics.
Eliot Spitzer
From those to whom much is given, much is expected. I have been given much: the love of my family, the faith and trust of the people of New York, and the chance to lead this state. I am deeply sorry that I did not live up to what was expected of me.

A significant piece of the wealth that the NFL owners garner is a result of the enormous TV revenues they get - and those revenues are supported by a legislatively granted exemption from the antitrust laws that has been made applicable to sports leagues, primarily the NFL.
Eliot Spitzer
It's time to let science and medicine, not politics and rhetoric, lead us to good, sound policy.
Eliot Spitzer
I don't have any particular expertise-I've never been a banker or an investment banker. But I did see an evolution in the system that I thought was problematic.
Eliot Spitzer
It sucks. I used to be governor of New York.
Eliot Spitzer
The Republican argument that raising the debt ceiling encourages additional future spending is logically irresponsible. The debt ceiling has to be raised to authorize spending already approved by Congress. Despite that fallacy, the GOP has been able to score political points with its argument.
Eliot Spitzer
Public speaking? I speak to myself on the street!
Eliot Spitzer
Those who are critical of Alliance are the same people who have done nothing for 30 years.
Eliot Spitzer
Any reasonable economist will tell you that it's nearly impossible to isolate the impact of right-to-work laws on a state's job growth. A multitude of other factors intervene. However, one thing the numbers can show is that right-to-work laws have a negative effect on the wages of workers in that state.
Eliot Spitzer
I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself.
Eliot Spitzer
I stand before you today because this vision of government as the engine of opportunity is what I believe in.
Eliot Spitzer
Power must be used, but it must be tempered by soul-searching and the recognition of our human capacity for error. That is the maxim that should inform our approach to every challenge, from reforming state government to engaging in foreign affairs.
