And because no matter who you are, if you believe in yourself and your dream, New York will always be the place for you.
I am what I am and, you know, I'm a very lucky guy.
I think if you look at people, whether in business or government, who haven't had any moral compass, who've just changed to say whatever they thought the popular thing was, in the end they're losers.
I've got the greatest job in the world. There's no other job in government where cause and effect is so tightly coupled where you can make a difference every day in so many different ways and in so many different people's lives. It's a great challenge.
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.
It's no fun to protest on an empty stomach.
Many of America's and New York's sons and daughters are around the world fighting for the freedoms that the Statue of Liberty stands for.
No place epitomizes the American experience and the American spirit more than New York City.
Taxes are not good things, but if you want services, somebody's got to pay for them so they're a necessary evil.
The cold harsh reality is that we have to balance the budget.
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.
This is the city of dreamers and time and again it's the place where the greatest dream of all, the American dream, has been tested and has triumphed.
We all must recognize that homeland security funds should be allocated by threat and no other reason.
We are the safest large city in America, but any crime rate is too high.
We will go forward... we will never go back.
We will rebuild, renew and remain the capital of the free world.
Well, we have to provide the world's best schools. We certainly don't have them, but that's our objective.
You are safer here tonight than you would be on the streets of any other city in the world.
You're going to see a million people here who have the courage to come and not let terrorists win, and that's exactly what we should all do.
