‘Cuomo lost everything tonight except the nomination.’

Former New York City Public Advocate Mark Green on New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Sept. 9 Democratic primary victory against little-known challenger Zephyr Teachout. Cuomo was able to garner only 61.7 percent of the vote against the underfunded Teachout, a performance that has raised questions about his viability as a national candidate for the Democratic Party.

‘The “closed on Sundays” sign on his stores is a countercultural statement that man does not live by bread alone, and there is more to life than a bottom line.’

Southern Baptist ethicist Russell Moore on Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy, who died Sept. 8. Cathy kept Chick-fil-A stores closed on Sundays because of the Fourth Commandment.

‘Mike is kind of like God at the company. He created the universe. He issued the Ten Commandments and then he disappeared. And then he came back. ... When God reappeared, people defer.’

Daniel Doctoroff, who was heading Bloomberg L.P. until former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg decided to return to the company at the beginning of September. Doctoroff will join the board of Bloomberg’s foundation after he steps aside.

‘You can beat up your wife, you can beat up anybody and get away with it. And if you’re a law-abiding citizen and you want to protect your family ... you’re a criminal.’

Shaneen Allen, a single mother in Philadelphia who faces a jail sentence for carrying a licensed firearm into New Jersey, on the same prosecutor who handled her case allowing NFL star Ray Rice to avoid jail for severely beating his wife. Allen was pulled over for a minor traffic offense and arrested for carrying a gun in her car even though she showed the officer her Pennsylvania concealed-carry permit.

‘When you come to church, when you worship Him, you’re not doing it for God really. You’re doing it for yourself, because that’s what makes God happy.’

Victoria Osteen, co-pastor of Lakewood Church, in an August sermon criticized by many Christians for promoting a “me-centered” religion.
