Top 10 most inspiring quotes by Mario Cuomo
- We believe in encouraging the talented, but we believe that while survival of the fittest may be a good working description of the process of evolution, a government of humans should elevate itself to a higher order.
- If you can manipulate news, a judge can manipulate the law. A smart lawyer can keep a killer out of jail, a smart accountant can keep a thief from paying taxes, a smart reporter could ruin your reputation – unfairly.
- The truth is the justice system does need review, there are troubling questions that need to be answered, law enforcement needs to respect the community and the community needs to respect law enforcement.
- Those two principles: We’re supposed to love one another and we’re supposed to work together to make the experience better. That’s all the religion you need, really, to make a success of this planet.
- People expect Byzantine, Machiavellian logic from politicians. But the truth is simple. Trial lawyers learn a good rule: ‘Don’t decide what you don’t have to decide.’ That’s not evasion, it’s wisdom.
- We believe in a government that is characterized by fairness and reasonableness, a reasonableness that goes beyond labels, that doesn’t distort or promise to do things that we know we can’t do.
- The values derived from religious belief will not – and should not – be accepted as part of the public morality unless they are shared by the pluralistic community at large, by consensus.
- Outrage is easy, cheap, and oversold. The nation needs less anger and more thoughtful reflection, less shouting and more listening, less dissembling and more honesty.
- The American people need no course in philosophy or political science or church history to know that God should not be made into a celestial party chairman.
- Way down deep the American people are afraid of an entangling relationship between formal religions – or whole bodies of religious belief – and government.
Mario Cuomo (1932-2015) was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 52nd Governor of the State of New York from 1983 to 1994. He was born in Queens, New York, and graduated from St. John’s University and St. John’s University School of Law.
Cuomo was known for his strong advocacy of progressive policies, particularly on issues such as education, healthcare, and civil rights. He delivered a keynote speech at the 1984 Democratic National Convention, which brought him national attention and was seen as a defining moment in his political career.
During his tenure as Governor, Cuomo implemented a number of policies aimed at improving the lives of New Yorkers, such as expanding access to healthcare, increasing funding for education, and promoting economic development. He also became known for his opposition to the death penalty, which he vetoed numerous times during his tenure as Governor.
Cuomo was widely respected for his intellect and oratory skills, and was frequently mentioned as a potential presidential candidate. However, he ultimately chose not to run for president, despite pressure from supporters and political insiders. After leaving office in 1994, Cuomo remained active in public life and continued to be a prominent voice on political issues until his death in 2015.
