Michael Bloomberg Business Quotations

I am what I am and, you know, I'm a very lucky guy.

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.

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.

Don't be afraid to assert yourself, have confidence in your abilities and don't let the bastards get you down.

Government caters to those screaming the loudest, regardless of what they're screaming about. In business, it's exactly the opposite! You invest more in the most successful departments, and less in those that aren't performing.

Taxes are not good things, but if you want services, somebody's got to pay for them so they're a necessary evil.
