Performing doesn't turn me on. It's an egomaniac business, filled with prima donnas - including this one.
Dan Rather
Are the Democrats going to dance the mandate Macarena?
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
These guys [the Catholic church] make Enron look like altar boys.
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
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.

Never eat spinach just before going on the air.

Dan Rather
Always marry a woman from Texas. No matter how tough things get, she's seen tougher.
Dan Rather
Turn the lights down, the party just got wilder.
Dan Rather
Have you ever had any anger about President Bush - who spent his time during the Vietnam War in the National Guard - running, in effect, a campaign that does its best to diminish your service in Vietnam? You have to be at least irritated by that, or have you been?
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
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
If frogs had side pockets, they'd carry hand guns.
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 got addicted. News, particularly daily news, is more addictive than crack cocaine, more addictive than heroin, more addictive than cigarettes.
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
I can say with confidence I know a fair bit about LSD.
Dan Rather
Journalists should denounce government by public opinion polls.
