More quotes by Bill Moyers
There's 1,000 ways into addiction 1,000 ways out.
Bill Moyers
Scientists investigate that which already is Engineers create that which has never been. Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous.
Bill Moyers
When a library is open, no matter its size or shape, democracy is open, too.
Bill Moyers
Our great progressive struggles have been waged to make sure ordinary citizens, and not just the rich and privileged, share in the benefits of a free society.
Bill Moyers
Hyperbole was to Lyndon Johnson what oxygen is to life.
Bill Moyers
In those days [1955], affirmative action was for whites only. I might still be working for the grocery store in the small Texas town where I grew up were it not for affirmative action for Southern white boys.
Bill Moyers
I have seen hate born of fear, hate speaking in the name of God and truth, hate holding up a distorting mirror to fellow human beings.

On the eve of the election last month my wife Judith and I were driving home late in the afternoon and turned on the radio for the traffic and weather. What we instantly got was a freak show of political pornography: lies, distortions, and half-truths - half-truths being perhaps the blackest of all lies. They paraded before us as informed opinion.
Bill Moyers

Bill Moyers
I can't speak for a war that I believe is immoral.
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
What's right and good doesn't come naturally. You have to stand up and fight for it - as if the cause depends on you, because it does.
Bill Moyers
I'm angry at what's happening to America and angry with myself that I can't do more. I would be miserable if I couldn't bear witness.
Bill Moyers
Charity depends on the vicissitudes of whim and personal wealth justice depends on commitment instead of circumstance. Faith-based charity provides crumbs from the table faith-based justice offers a place at the table.
Bill Moyers
You can't have a people's democracy as long as corporations are considered people.
Bill Moyers
In one way or another, this is the oldest story in America: the struggle to determine whether “we, the people” is a moral compact embedded in a political contract or merely a charade masquerading as piety and manipulated by the powerful and privileged to sustain their own way of life at the expense of others.
Bill Moyers
In America, one of our two major parties is dominated by extremists dedicated to destroying the social contract, and the other party has been so enfeebled by two decades of collaboration with the donor class it can offer only feeble resistance to the forces that are devastating everyday people.
Bill Moyers
The property qualifications for federal office that the framers of the Constitution expressly chose to exclude for demonstrating an unseemly veneration of wealth are now de facto in force and higher than the Founding Fathers could have imagined.

Journalism's been a continuing course in adult education for me.
