More quotes by 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'm part of nobody's world except Brezhnev's.
Dan Rather
I'd much rather wear out than rust out.
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
I was really lucky to work at CBS news. I was blessed to be able to live my dream in many ways at CBS news.

Dan Rather
I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things.
Dan Rather
These guys [the Catholic church] make Enron look like altar boys.
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
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
Ratings don't last. Good journalism does.
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
I know that this story is true.
Dan Rather
Journalists should denounce government by public opinion polls.
Dan Rather
I don't pretend to be a digital savant or even a digital apprentice.
Dan Rather
Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.
