More quotes by 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
A lot of tight Senate races out there. Let's hit those chips with another dash of salsa, Ed Bradley.
Dan Rather
Journalists should denounce government by public opinion polls.
Dan Rather
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
I know that this story is true.
Dan Rather
I'd much rather wear out than rust out.
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'm proud to say I've never been anybody's lapdog.
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
It's the old shell game.
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
I'm a believer in what your record is. I am what my record is - some of it good, some of it bad, some of it hard to tell.
Dan Rather
Covering the civil-rights movement was a mind- and eye-opener for me. Houston was a segregated society, as was Texas as a whole - some of it by law, a lot of it by fear and tradition. But there was no violence where I lived, and if there was hate, it was either concealed from me or I just didn't recognize it.
Dan Rather
Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.
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.
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 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
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.

I'm part of nobody's world except Brezhnev's.
