- Change theme
Quotes by Eliot Spitzer
- I do not believe that politics in the long run is about individuals. It is about ideas.

- Imagine if the pension funds and endowments that own much of the equity in our financial services companies demanded that those companies revisit the way mortgages were marketed to those without adequate skills to understand the products they were being sold. Management would have to change the way things were done.
- In politics you learn to always smile.
- In the melting pot that is America, inclusive trumps exclusive. Whether it's single women, young adults, or minorities, alienating the rapidly growing voting blocs is not smart politics.
