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.
From Mario Cuomo
You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.
I had not even thought of running for president until one day in 1991, at a small fund-raiser, completely unanticipated, someone stood up and said, 'Hey, Mario, in all the years we've supported you, we've never heard you talk about the presidency, and we want to know why not.'
Tax should be the same for everybody.
Every time I've done something that doesn't feel right, it's ended up not being right.
I said I didn't want to run for president. I didn't ask you to believe me.
I have no plans, and no plans to plan.
The mugger who is arrested is back on the street before the police officer, but the person mugged may not be back on the street for a long time, if ever.
I am a trial lawyer. Matilda says that at dinner on a good day I sound like an affidavit.
I talk and talk and talk, and I haven't taught people in fifty years what my father taught me by example in one week.
