The job of a leader, the job of a governor, the job of a president, is to get the people in the room and bang enough heads together and rub enough arms and cajole enough to have them put the country and the state's greater interest ahead of their own personal partisan interest.

Chris Christie

Job, Together, Country

Chris Christie

America, Said, Balance

Given my last position, that I was the first U.S attorney post 9/11 in New Jersey, I understand acutely the pain and sorrow and upset of the family members who lost loved ones that day at the hands of radical Muslim extremists. And their sensitivities and concerns have to be taken into account.

Chris Christie

Politics, Truth, Him

Now, in New Jersey, we have more government workers per square mile than any state in America.

Chris Christie

Love, Country, Enough

We're called New Jersey but we're actually the suburbs of New York.
Harlan Coben

Actually, York, Suburbs

The state of New Jersey is really two places - terrible cities and wonderful suburbs.

Harlan Coben

Life, Work, Romantic
