Being an entrepreneur isn't really about starting a business. It's a way of looking at the world: seeing opportunity where others see obstacles, taking risks when others take refuge.

More quotes by Michael Bloomberg
Ironically, it is exactly because we are a city that embraces freedom, that welcomes everyone and encourages their dreams, that New York remains on the front lines in the war on terror.
Michael Bloomberg
The press really is not doing its job of holding their [the candidates'] feet to the fire. ... The tough questions are not what are you in favor of, but how are you going to get it through Congress?
Michael Bloomberg
What you've got to do is be honest. Say what you believe. Give it to them straight. Just don't wuss out.
Michael Bloomberg
China is investing in factories in Eastern Europe, not because their labor costs are lower, but because they want to be closer to their markets.
Michael Bloomberg
Look, we live in a very dangerous world. We know there are people who want to take away our freedoms. New Yorkers probably know that as much if not more than anybody else after the terrible tragedy of 9/11.
Michael Bloomberg
Don't think that I'm - I'd- I'm infallible. Will always make mistakes.
Michael Bloomberg
Don't be afraid to assert yourself, have confidence in your abilities and don't let the bastards get you down.
Michael Bloomberg
Every one of my positions cuts - out half the country. I'm pro-choice, I'm pro-gay rights, I'm pro-immigration, I'm against guns, I believe in Darwin.
Michael Bloomberg
I don't believe that government is good at picking technology, particularly technology that is changing. By the time you get it done and go through democracy, it's so outdated.
Michael Bloomberg
I think it's a sign that the establishment is going to have to change. For too long they never thought about the average person, because the average person is not organized.
Michael Bloomberg
We have reduced poverty in the world by 50% since the year 1970 - the number of people who go to bed hungry, the number of people that have to sleep without a roof over their heads, the number of people that are illiterate.The world is better.
Michael Bloomberg
[Jeb Bush] could, as I describe it, run the railroad.[John] Kasich could run the railroad. Hillary Clinton can run the railroad. Running the railroad is the most important thing. You have got 4 million employees you've got to make the system work, and it doesn't work very well.
Michael Bloomberg
We may not always agree with every one of our neighbors. That's life. And it's part of living in such a diverse and dense city. But we also recognize that part of being a New Yorker is living with your neighbors in mutual respect and tolerance. It was exactly that spirit of openness and acceptance that was attacked on 9/11, 2001.
Michael Bloomberg
We've shown the world that New York can never be defeated, because of its dynamic and diverse population and because it embodies the spirit of enterprise and the love of liberty. And because no matter who you are, if you believe in yourself and your dream, New York will always be the place for you.
Michael Bloomberg
Our climate is changing. And while the increase in extreme weather we have experienced in New York City and around the world may or may not be the result of it, the risk that it may be - given the devastation it is wreaking - should be enough to compel all elected leaders to take immediate action.
Michael Bloomberg
In 1975, Congress passed a law requiring fuel efficiency standards to double over 10 years, with incremental targets that auto manufacturers were required to meet. That was the responsible approach, and it worked. But since 1985, we've done nothing - even as technology has moved at light speed.
Michael Bloomberg
Working collectively and collaboratively is the difference between mediocrity by yourself or success as a team. You have to share the pain and the responsibility and if you do then you will also share in the rewards.
Michael Bloomberg
I am heading straight in. I have earned my place in heaven. It’s not even close.
Michael Bloomberg
I've always respected those who tried to change the world for the better, rather than just complain about it.
Michael Bloomberg
I have my own army in the NYPD, which is the seventh biggest army in the world.
Michael Bloomberg
