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.

More quotes by 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
Clinton feels a profound alienation from the Washington culture here, and I happen to agree with him.
Bob Woodward
The source known as Deep Throat provided a kind of road map through the scandal. His one consistent message was that the Watergate burglary was just the tip of the iceberg.
Bob Woodward
Deep Throat was a very unfortunate name given to the source by the managing editor of The Washington Post.
Bob Woodward
When you see how the President makes political or policy decisions, you see who he is. The essence of the Presidency is decision-making.
Bob Woodward
The number of illegal activities were so large that one was bound to come out and lead to the uncovering of the others. Nixon was too willing to use the power of government to settle scores and get even with enemies.
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
A reporter's ability to keep the bond of confidentiality often enables him to learn the hidden or secret aspects of government.
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
If information is true, if it can be verified, and if it's really important, the newspaper needs to be willing to take the risk associated with using unidentified sources.
Bob Woodward
I suspect there have been a number of conspiracies that never were described or leaked out. But I suspect none of the magnitude and sweep of Watergate.
Bob Woodward
Newspapers that are truly independent, like The Washington Post, can still aggressively investigate anyone or anything with no holds barred.
Bob Woodward
Deep Throat's information, and in my view, courage, allowed the newspaper to use what he knew and suspected.
Bob Woodward
I'm not going to name some of my colleagues who are very well-known for their television presentation, but they wouldn't know new information or how to report a story if it came up and bit them.
Bob Woodward
In Haig's presence, Kissinger referred pointedly to military men as dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy.
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
Finally, the president added, 'The American people are idealists, but they also want their leaders to be realistic...'
Bob Woodward
It would be absurd for me or any other editor to review the authenticity or accuracy of stories that are nominated for prizes.
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
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.
