More quotes by Dan Rather
I know that this story is true.
Dan Rather
You'd better do what you feel good about doing. If we [try] to figure out what it is the audience wants and then try to deliver it to them, we're lost souls on the ghost ship forever.
Dan Rather
It's the old shell game.
Dan Rather
These guys [the Catholic church] make Enron look like altar boys.
Dan Rather
When the going gets weird, anchormen punt.
Dan Rather
Start-ups like UniversityNow, a network of low-cost, online colleges, allows students to work at their own pace and pay a few hundred dollars a month for a degree.
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'.
Dan Rather
I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things.
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
If I didn't have a front-row seat on history, it was at least a seat on the aisle.
Dan Rather
Performing doesn't turn me on. It's an egomaniac business, filled with prima donnas - including this one.
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.
Dan Rather
Editing can alter the original meaning and context, and computers can alter the image itself. The camera can also be manipulated. At the very least, it must be turned in one direction - only one direction at a time ... Who chooses what direction to point the camera, and why?
Dan Rather
Are the Democrats going to dance the mandate Macarena?
Dan Rather
Americans will put up with anything provided it doesn't block traffic.
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've never believed in measuring one's worth by the size of his or her bank account. I prefer to look at distance traveled.
Dan Rather
President Bush insisted today that he was not caving in to big-money contributors, big-time lobbyists, and overall industry pressure when he broke a campaign promise to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. But the air was thick today with accusations from people who believe that's exactly what happened.
Dan Rather
I'm proud to say I've never been anybody's lapdog.
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.
