Dan Rather
To the pilot of a deep sea submersible, upon finding out what would happen if the craft sprung a leak while submerged. I'll trust you to make sure that doesn't happen.

Well, first of all, I don't want to debate the word conservative, but by my definition, a conservative is someone who wants to conserve the Constitution of the United States and the American tradition and law that no one is above the law.

Dan Rather
Don't taunt the alligator until after you've crossed the creek.
Dan Rather
It's the old shell game.
Dan Rather
These guys [the Catholic church] make Enron look like altar boys.
Dan Rather
We may see Michael Jackson's baby before we know the final outcome of this race for the House of Representatives tonight.
Dan Rather
When the going gets weird, anchormen punt.
Dan Rather
It's the ratings, stupid, don't you know? They've got us putting more fuzz and wuzz on the air, cop-show stuff.
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
If frogs had side pockets, they'd carry hand guns.
Dan Rather
If all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey, most of us would never start out at all.
