About Hugh Carey: Hugh Leo Carey was an American attorney, a seven-term United States Representative (1961–1974), and the 51st Governor of New York from 1975 to 1982.
I would like to be remembered as somebody who cared a great deal about people.
All my life, people have been underestimating me.
A mentor long departed told me that the greatest gift in political life, in any life, is to view yourself objectively, at arm's length, to make an assessment of yourself. So whom do I rely on? I rely on myself.
