before so much blah, blah, blah... We must get the American public to look past the glitter, beyond the showmanship, to the reality, the hard substance of things. And well do it not so much with speeches that sound good as with speeches that are good and sound; not so much with speeches that will bring people to their feet as with speeches that will bring people to their senses. -- Democratic National Convention, 1984 I protect my right to be a Catholic by preserving your right to believe as a Jew, a Protestant, or non-believer, or as anything else you choose. We know that the price of seeking to force our beliefs on others is that they might some day force theirs on us. This freedom is the fundamental strength of our unique experiment in government ....its preservation must be a pervasive and dominant concern. -- Governor Mario Cuomo, speech at the University of Notre Dame, 1984
