More quotes by Eliot Spitzer
I don't like politicians who vacillate.
Eliot Spitzer
Sometimes in politics, you think you've seen it all. Turns out I was wrong.
Eliot Spitzer
Don't reward bad behavior. It is one of the first rules of parenting. During the financial cataclysm of 2008, we said it differently. When we bailed out banks that had created their own misfortune, we called it a 'moral hazard,' because the bailout absolved the bank's bad acts and created an incentive for it to make the same bad loans again.
Eliot Spitzer
Delay is the enemy of progress.
Eliot Spitzer
President Obama is doing the right thing by offering young immigrants, most often in this country through no action of their own, a chance to live and work openly, free from the fear of deportation.
Eliot Spitzer
I apologize to the public, whom I promised better.
Eliot Spitzer
I stand before you today because this vision of government as the engine of opportunity is what I believe in.
Eliot Spitzer
Global warming threatens our health, our economy, our natural resources, and our children's future. It is clear we must act.
Eliot Spitzer
I think President Obama could have handled politics and policies differently. But he has been decisive, strong, and consistent - important qualities in a president. Mitt Romney is indeed an Etch A Sketch, the antithesis of leadership.
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
The pace of global warming is accelerating and the scale of the impact is devastating. The time for action is limited - we are approaching a tipping point beyond which the opportunity to reverse the damage of CO2 emissions will disappear.
Eliot Spitzer
While their fiscal views aren't mine, the moderates are the last reasonable voice in the current Republican Party.
Eliot Spitzer
Companies that pollute should be taxed so that a product's cost to society is reflected in the price of that product.
Eliot Spitzer
After 25-plus years as a lawyer, prosecutor, and defense attorney, I have developed a deep appreciation for both the wisdom of the law and the role that jurists play in framing the rights and responsibilities that define our society.
Eliot Spitzer
When you're in office, there are tangible moments when you can see tangible successes.
Eliot Spitzer
I would say to those who don't like the metaphor This is reality.
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.
Eliot Spitzer
Yes, people pull the trigger - but guns are the instrument of death. Gun control is necessary, and delay means more death and horror.
Eliot Spitzer
I don't think Michael Bloomberg would say that his greatest skill is delivering the speech. He would say he's more of a nuts-and-bolts mayor-picking up the trash, dealing with the school system.

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.
