Zitat des Tages von Joe Lhota:
The role of government is to steer us in the right direction, not do all the work for us.
Margaret Thatcher was a 20th century visionary who understood the power of individual freedom versus the tyranny of government collectivism. She was a loyal supporter and friend of the United States and her terms as prime minister were marked as the beginning of the resurgence of the economy of the United Kingdom.
The bracelet says 'Fear Nothing.' It was given to me by my friends, and it was made for me and my friends during the period of time that I was going through chemotherapy. And I still wear it, because it's a great reminder of friendship and how my buddies and others came together in my time of need.
I have gone to Albany constantly in my capacity as budget director, because I don't think the way the transit authority works with the City of New York is very appropriate.
I still am a virulent anti-communist. It is a bad system, an immoral system, and one that takes away the rights of people and the rights of individuals. And everywhere it's gone, it's failed.
There is no reason for anybody to have an assault weapon.
I was born a limited-government person. I've always had this streak going through me.
I've been marching in every single ethnic nationality parade all throughout the City of New York. We're all Americans first and foremost, but people understand their heritage and it's good to see.
My favorite is always the book that I'm currently reading.
I do fear God, but I will also tell you that when a doctor diagnoses you and the word 'cancer' comes out of his mouth, at that point, it changes your life and you do fear less and it also has allowed me to be a lot more open as a person. It's changed me.
Would I be the 3rd term of Rudy Giuliani or the 4th term of Mike Bloomberg? It'll be neither. It'll be the first term of Joe Lhota. We're all different.
I have voted for a Republican for president ever since I was voting and since I was 18 years old.
Everybody knows I return all of my phone calls. I pick up my cell phone myself, much to the chagrin of my staff.
My dad was a New York City cop. His father was a New York City fireman. And my mother's dad was a city taxi driver.
I was the first one in my family to go to college.
I was involved as deputy mayor in New York City on 9/11.
Rudy Giuliani did some phenomenal things in the city if you think of the transformation of the city and the quality of life.
What I learned from 9/11 that is really important, first and foremost, you have to motivate all the workers and understand that they've left their families to help clean up a pretty awful situation. Every time you have an emergency management situation, it's all about teamwork.
I would leave school every day and walk to my grandparents' house under the El because everyone worked. I was 6 and walking home alone from school. It was a different city and a different time.
My earliest memories are of my father explaining to me the American Dream and how he expected me to do better than he did.
