More quotes by Michael Bloomberg
I've always respected those who tried to change the world for the better, rather than just complain about it.
Michael Bloomberg
Last I looked - and I'm not a candidate - but last time I checked reading about the Constitution, the Electoral College has nothing to do with parties, has absolutely nothing to do with parties. It's most states are winners take all.
Michael Bloomberg
It's no fun to protest on an empty stomach.
Michael Bloomberg
I'd love to have a president who really was out there leading and traveling around the world campaigning for joint climate change action. Even the Chinese government is trying to get people to stop polluting. And I think the federal government level in China is acting more responsibly than the American government.
Michael Bloomberg
We all must recognize that homeland security funds should be allocated by threat and no other reason.
Michael Bloomberg
Nobody's going to elect me president of the United States.
Michael Bloomberg

Michael Bloomberg
The main claim to fame, I think, of Bernie Sanders - who I've never met I'm sure he's a pleasant guy - [is that] he's certainly not stupid.
Michael Bloomberg
We're [New York] the world's second home, the place where every religion is practiced and every culture is celebrated.
Michael Bloomberg
The problem of dealing with the financial industry is being addressed today. You can measure it with interest rates coming down. You can measure it with the quantity of loans, and that sort of thing. The problem is, that nobody wants to take the loans. Once the banks are willing to give it, that's only half the problem.
Michael Bloomberg
If you want to do something for your children and show how much you love them, the single best thing-by far-is to support organizations that will create a better world for them and their children.
Michael Bloomberg
If a hurricane strikes, we can blame the president for not being there we can blame Congress and FEMA we can blame the state governments but in the end, it's the mayors and the local city governments that have to be prepared for emergencies and be prepared to act.
Michael Bloomberg
I think one of the great dangers here is going and categorizing anybody from one religion as a terrorist. That's not true... That would let the terrorists win. That's what they want us to do.
Michael Bloomberg
Cities with clean air gain an economic advantage, because where people want to live and work, businesses want to invest.
Michael Bloomberg
I never lie, so if somebody asked me a question, I told them.
Michael Bloomberg
We need to have more taxes, not less, and we need the taxes we have, certainly, to provide services - for defense and education and health care. We should not cut money here in order to cut taxes.
Michael Bloomberg
