You never begin a new life. It's a mistake to think that you end one part of your life and start another as if there's no continuity.

Life begins when we get tired of our own bullshit. We must all get bloody tired of our own bullshit, in order for our lives to begin.

A confession has to be part of your new life.

With the spirit of my administration, New York City is poised for dramatic change. The era of fear has had a long enough reign.

Every time New York City suffered a tragedy, Donald Trump was there to help. And he did it anonymously.

When people endure a traumatic event, they are either defeated or made stronger. On Sept. 11, I told New Yorkers, 'I want you to emerge stronger from this.' My words were partially a hope and partially an observation that people in New York City handle big things better than little things. I could not be more proud of the way my city responded.
