I do not think that anybody should get paid for lousy performance. I've said that for a long time. If you work hard and you do good, you get paid well.

You can't sit there and worry about everything.
Michael Bloomberg
Nobody is going to delegate a lot of power to a secretary that they can't control.
Michael Bloomberg
I know that many Irish-born New Yorkers are caught in the trap of our federal immigration policies. If we are going to continue to attract the best and the brightest - and Ireland has more than its fair share - we need to inject some common sense into our immigration laws, and I'm doing my best to make that case in Washington.
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
I thought Jeb Bush would have made a good president. He was on the board of my foundation. He's very conservative, much too conservative for me.
Michael Bloomberg
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
I know a con when I see one.
Michael Bloomberg
I have my own army in the NYPD, which is the seventh biggest army in the world.
Michael Bloomberg
I think [Winston] Churchill said it was [democracy] the worst of all systems except for all the others. And that's probably true. It's never gone easily.
Michael Bloomberg
When you go to Washington now, you can feel a sense of fear in the air - the fear to do anything, or say anything, that might affect the polls, or give the other side an advantage, or offend a special interest.
Michael Bloomberg
There's a fascinating statistic: One out of every four people in America has visited New York since 9/11. It is astounding. Now, I don't know how you count it it's some people coming multiple times.
Michael Bloomberg
Organizing around a common interest is a fundamental part of democracy. We should no more try to take away the right of individuals to collectively bargain than we should try to take away the right to a secret ballot.
Michael Bloomberg
We haven't had a world war in a long time. We do have mass movements of people out of Syria and North Africa. But, fundamentally, if you take Japan, you're complaining that the economy isn't booming, they'd like to have slightly higher inflation.
Michael Bloomberg
Like Israel, New York City's history has been defined by immigrants who come in search of freedom and the opportunity to build a better life. And like Israel, New York City has remained a target for terrorists who seek to destroy that freedom
Michael Bloomberg
These endless legal challenges that define elections in New York are a joke in this country, and they are the reason why it is so expensive, or one of the reasons, it's so expensive to run here and why so many people decide not to run.
Michael Bloomberg
Someone once described the information business as exactly the opposite of sex. When it's good, it's still lousy.
Michael Bloomberg
You have to understand, we have better communications and better transportation, so people know what's available elsewhere and can get a message out, and you can move things. And you [can] say that the economy is more unpredictable.
Michael Bloomberg
New York has been, and will continue to be, a magnet for people from all over the world. This is where the arts, business, research and technology converge to create the world's foremost urban economy.
Michael Bloomberg
Central planning didn't work for Stalin or Mao, and it won't work for an entrepreneur either.
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
