More quotes by Dan Rather
Music is important. It says things you heart can't say any other way, and in a language everyone speaks. Music crosses borders, turns smiles into frowns, and vice versa. These observations are shared with a hope: that, when schools cut back on music classes, they really think about what they're doing - and don't take music for granted.

Dan Rather
Ratings don't last. Good journalism does.
Dan Rather

Dan Rather
The Republican convention opens in New York to re-nominate George W. Bush and showcase the party's, quote, 'moderate side.' Will voters buy it?
Dan Rather
I'd much rather wear out than rust out.
Dan Rather
They say California's the big burrito Texas is a big taco right now. We want to follow that through. Florida is a big tamale.
Dan Rather
Don't taunt the alligator until after you've crossed the creek.
Dan Rather
I got addicted. News, particularly daily news, is more addictive than crack cocaine, more addictive than heroin, more addictive than cigarettes.
Dan Rather
Performing doesn't turn me on. It's an egomaniac business, filled with prima donnas - including this one.
Dan Rather
But we cannot rely on memorials and museums alone. We can tell ourselves we will never forget and we likely won't. But we need to make sure that we teach history to those who never had the opportunity to remember in the first place.
Dan Rather
I quote the late Ed Murow. ... He said: 'Look, people listen to me when they want an eyewitness account. 'They think I'm a pretty good reporter. But when it comes to my opinions, mine are not worth anymore than the guy at the end of the bar.' And I believe that about myself.
