More quotes by 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 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
A reporter's ability to keep the bond of confidentiality often enables him to learn the hidden or secret aspects of government.
Bob Woodward
Deep Throat was a very unfortunate name given to the source by the managing editor of The Washington Post.
Bob Woodward
Using these unnamed sources, if done properly, carefully and fairly, provides more accountability in government.
Bob Woodward
Way before Watergate, senior administration officials hid behind anonymity.
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

Bob Woodward
I give lectures for money, but all the money goes to charity. So, I make no money from it.
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
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.
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
They need to review this secret world. We have an incredibly powerful government that gets on automatic pilot.
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
Lawyers didn't seriously get involved in the Watergate stories until quite late, when we realized we were on to something.
Bob Woodward
After Nixon resigned in 1974, he engaged in a very aggressive war with history, attempting to wipe out the Watergate stain and memory. Happily, history won, largely because of Nixon's tapes.
Bob Woodward
There are people who take rumors and embellish them in a way that can be devastating. And this pollution has to be eradicated by people in our business as best we can.
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 there's too little patience and context to many of the investigations I read or see on television.
