Famous quotes containing the words mario cuomo and/or cuomo:

    You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.
    Mario Cuomo (b. 1932)

    I watched a small man with thick calluses on both hands work fifteen and sixteen hours a day. I saw him once literally bleed from the bottoms of his feet, a man who came here uneducated, alone, unable to speak the language, who taught me all I needed to know about faith and hard work by the simple eloquence of his example.
    —Mario Cuomo (b. 1932)
