More quotes by Eliot Spitzer
Those who are critical of Alliance are the same people who have done nothing for 30 years.
Eliot Spitzer
Never write when you can talk. Never talk when you can nod. And never put anything in an e-mail.
Eliot Spitzer
When you're in office, there are tangible moments when you can see tangible successes.
Eliot Spitzer
We are all used to paying a sales tax when we buy things - almost 9 percent here in New York City. The application of this concept to the financial sector could solve our need for revenue, bring some sanity back into the financial sector, and give us a way to raise the revenue we need to run the government in a fiscally responsible way.
Eliot Spitzer
Tax rates for the wealthy should revert to Clinton-era levels, both because it is necessary for long-term deficit reduction and because fairness dictates it. Moreover, there is no proof that higher marginal rates dissuade investment, all the rhetoric from the Right notwithstanding.

The irony is that it was tougher to rent a car from Cerberus when it owned Alamo than to buy a semi-automatic. To rent a car, one had to provide ID, a drivers' license, and get insurance coverage. To buy a gun? Cash and carry, from the back of a station wagon at a gun show. No concerns about downstream liability or risk.

Public speaking? I speak to myself on the street!
Eliot Spitzer
My career was obviously cut shorter than I wanted it to be.
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.
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
Mitt Romney's primary season embrace of the social and economic agenda of the more rabid elements of his party doomed him, especially the shrill immigration rhetoric and the harshly insensitive theory that no additional sacrifice or contribution should be sought from those at the top.
Eliot Spitzer
To every New Yorker - and to all those who believed in what I tried to stand for - I sincerely apologize.
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
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
Sometimes in politics, you think you've seen it all. Turns out I was wrong.
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
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
Global warming threatens our health, our economy, our natural resources, and our children's future. It is clear we must act.
Eliot Spitzer
I apologize to the public, whom I promised better.
