More quotes by Dan Rather
Journalism is less addictive than communism.
Dan Rather
Those market researchers... are playing games with you and me and with this entire country. Their so-called samples of opinion are no more accurate or reliable than my grandmother's big toe was when it came to predicting the weather.
Dan Rather
Fear rules almost every newsroom in the country.
Dan Rather
Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.
Dan Rather
When the going gets weird, anchormen punt.
Dan Rather
Performing doesn't turn me on. It's an egomaniac business, filled with prima donnas - including this one.
Dan Rather
By more than two to one Americans do not consider what Kevorkian did, injecting a terminally ill patient with legal drugs at the patient's request, to be the same as murder. You may want to note that laws are not supposed to be enforced on the basis of public opinion polls.
Dan Rather
If frogs had side pockets, they'd carry hand guns.
Dan Rather
I'm all news, all the time. Full power, tall tower. I want to break in when news breaks out. That's my agenda. Now, respectfully, when you start talking about a liberal agenda and all the, quote, 'liberal bias' in the media, I quite frankly, and I say this respectfully but candidly to you, I don't know what you're talking about.
Dan Rather
If all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey, most of us would never start out at all.
Dan Rather
I'd much rather wear out than rust out.
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
I know that this story is true.
Dan Rather
Journalists should denounce government by public opinion polls.
Dan Rather
I had just turned 10-years-old when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and plunged America into World War II.
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
I read the book [My Life by Bill Clinton] completely. And I think it compares very favorably with Ulysses S. Grant's gold standard of presidential autobiographies.
Dan Rather
I have tried to remain a working, cutting-edge journalist and I don't do it the way everybody else does it. And I think that's the difference.
Dan Rather
Never eat spinach just before going on the air.
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.
