More quotes by Dan Rather
Covering the civil-rights movement was a mind- and eye-opener for me. Houston was a segregated society, as was Texas as a whole - some of it by law, a lot of it by fear and tradition.

Dan Rather

Dan Rather
If all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey, most of us would never start out at all.

I don't pretend to be a digital savant or even a digital apprentice.
Dan Rather
The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called 'truth'.
