More quotes by Bob Woodward
Nixon's grand mistake was his failure to understand that Americans are forgiving, and if he had admitted error early and apologized to the country, he would have escaped.
Bob Woodward
People like to pigeonhole and say, Well, I'm a Washington insider, and you know, that's quite silly. What does that even mean?
Bob Woodward
Some newspapers have a hands-off policy on favored politicians. But it's generally very small newspapers or local TV stations.
Bob Woodward
Lawyers didn't seriously get involved in the Watergate stories until quite late, when we realized we were on to something.
Bob Woodward
Not a season passes without new disclosures showing Nixon's numerous attempts at criminal use of his presidential powers and in fact the scorn he held for the rule of law.
Bob Woodward
There is a garbage culture out there, where we pour garbage on people. Then the pollsters run around and take a poll and say, do you smell anything?
Bob Woodward
I think journalism gets measured by the quality of information it presents, not the drama or the pyrotechnics associated with us.
Bob Woodward
Using these unnamed sources, if done properly, carefully and fairly, provides more accountability in government.
Bob Woodward
A reporter's ability to keep the bond of confidentiality often enables him to learn the hidden or secret aspects of government.
Bob Woodward
They need to review this secret world. We have an incredibly powerful government that gets on automatic pilot.
Bob Woodward
Certain political figures think when you call them and ask them for a comment that you are somehow doing something that you shouldn't be doing.
Bob Woodward
Getting up in the morning and having work you love is what makes life different for people. If you get into a position where you don't love what you're doing, get off it.
Bob Woodward
I believe there's too little patience and context to many of the investigations I read or see on television.
Bob Woodward
Nixon had some large achievements in foreign affairs. They will be remembered. But a president probably gets remembered for one thing, and Watergate will head the Nixon list, I suspect.
Bob Woodward
I think the problem in the Republican Party is really not money. I think they've got lots of it. I think it is theory of the case - why are we here, what is our message, how to connect to the real world.
Bob Woodward
I believe Watergate shows that the system did work. Particularly the Judiciary and the Congress, and ultimately an independent prosecutor working in the Executive Branch.
Bob Woodward
...Obama said, 'I welcome debate among my team, but I won't tolerate division'.
Bob Woodward
The failure of the system to deal quickly was attributable to Nixon's lying, stonewalling and refusal to come clean. So it took 26 months for the final truth to be known.
Bob Woodward
I don't think there will ever be a permanent truce, but I believe the media needs to be more careful and be willing to count to 10 before rushing on the air or into print.
Bob Woodward
I recently read some of the transcripts of Nixon's Watergate tapes, and they spent hours trying to figure out who was leaking and providing information to Carl and myself.
