More quotes by Bill Moyers
Our very lives depend on the ethics of strangers, and most of us are always strangers to other people.
Bill Moyers
Barack Obama treated too lightly the people and forces determined to destroy him. They spat in his face and didn't even get ticketed for a misdemeanor.
Bill Moyers
Charity provides crumbs from the table justice offers a place at the table.
Bill Moyers
For the first time in our history, ideology and theology hold a monopoly of power in Washington.
Bill Moyers
I own and operate a ferocious ego.
Bill Moyers
War, except in self-defense, is a failure of moral imagination.
Bill Moyers
A producer is a saboteur who tries to infiltrate the passivity of viewers and to create impressions that are lasting.
Bill Moyers

You can't have a people's democracy as long as corporations are considered people.
Bill Moyers
Democracy may not prove in the long run to be as efficient as other forms of government, but it has one saving grace: it allows us to know and say that it isn't.
Bill Moyers
When I learn something new - and it happens every day - I feel a little more at home in this universe, a little more comfortable in the nest.
Bill Moyers
Although our interests as citizens vary, each one is an artery to the heart that pumps life through the body politic, and each is important to the health of democracy.
Bill Moyers
I'm the front man, I'm the man on camera, but there's a whole team beyond me.
Bill Moyers
The delusional is no longer marginal.
Bill Moyers
Here is the crisis of the times as I see it: We talk about problems, issues, policies, but we don't talk about what democracy means - what it bestows on us - the revolutionary idea that it isn't just about the means of governance but the means of dignifying people so they become fully free to claim their moral and political agency.
Bill Moyers
[Martin Luther] King subpoened the nation's conscience. He was killed for it.
Bill Moyers
Democracy belongs to those who exercise it.
Bill Moyers
The Supreme Court consistently favors organized money and the political privileges of the corporate class. We have a Senate that is more responsive to affluent constituents than to middle-class constituents, while the opinions of constituents in the bottom third of income distribution have no apparent effect at all on the Senate's roll call votes.
Bill Moyers
America is the longest argument in the world.
Bill Moyers
If the watchdog doesn't bark, how do you know there's a burglar in the basement? And the press is supposed to be a watchdog.
