Mario Cuomo Quotes

In 1982, I wrote in my diary that life is motion, not joy. If the way you measure success in life is by how much joy it brings you, you're measuring inaccurately. Life is also sadness, defeat, striving. It is many things.

Men pour themselves into creeds, and God has to blast them out of their prejudices before they can become devoted to Jesus Christ.
