A mayor is a symbol and a public face of what a city bureaucracy provides its citizens.

You looked at Stanford or Harvard, or the University of Colorado, these were powerful engines just turning out people ready to create and grow businesses.

We will see the increasingly rapid rate of growth weve already been seeing in Colorado continue.

Especially during the first nine months, there was so much going on with trying to hire 55 people to run the city, it was hard to imagine any honeymoon.

From my subjective position, there was no honeymoon.

Denver is a city that will be far more defined by its future than its past.

I assume we will have figured out a way to efficiently utilize solar energy and tied that to an efficient way to use nuclear energy in such a way that it doesn't pose a serious environmental issue.

I may not have voted for Donald Trump, but I'm an American first. My entire administration is going to do everything we can to make him as successful as we can.

America is always attracting people, from all over the earth.

Even as we continue to carry the banner of civil rights and environmental justice, we've also got to focus on many, many people - for them, life starts with a good job.

Almost all government starts at a very local level at some point.

When certain seeds are planted, they nearly always grow.

If I were an American as I am an Englishman while a foreign troop was landed in my country I never would lay down my arms - never! never! never!

Curiosity, or the love of knowledge, has a very limited influence, and requires youth, leisure education, genius and example to make it govern any person

We want to decipher skies and paintings, go behind these starry backgrounds or these painted canvases and, like kids trying to find a gap in a fence, try to look through the cracks in the world.

It is a rule of nature that taking a day off on the farm sets a person back at least a week.

No man can claim to usurp more than a few cubic feet of the audibilities of a public room. . . .

We still have a choice today: nonviolence coesistence or violent coannihilation.

When I ask questions I'm genuinely curious and trying to learn.

I'll teach my boy the sweetest things; I'll teach him how the owlet sings.
