More quotes by Edward R. Murrow
I am entirely persuaded that the American public is more reasonable, restrained and more mature than most of our industry's program planners believe.
Edward R. Murrow
Of this be wary. Honor and fame are often regarded as interchangeable. Both involve an appraisal of the individual. . . but I suggest this difference. Fame is morally neutral.
Edward R. Murrow
All I can hope to teach my son is to tell the truth and fear no man.
Edward R. Murrow
Most of them [American politicians] are men of undoubted charm, ability, and incredible energy, and yet too often they lack purpose or appetite for anything beyond their own careers. With few notable exceptions, they are simply men who want to be loved.
Edward R. Murrow
We're not descended from fearful men - not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular.
Edward R. Murrow

Edward R. Murrow
Seldom, if ever, has a war ended leaving the victors with such a sense of uncertainty and fear, with such a realization that the future is obscure and that survival is not assured.
Edward R. Murrow

Edward R. Murrow
We cannot make good news out of bad practice.
Edward R. Murrow
To be credible we must be truthful.
Edward R. Murrow
We are in the same tent as the clowns and the freaks - that's show business.
Edward R. Murrow
A blur of blinks, taps, jiggles, pivots and shifts ... the body language of a man wishing urgently to be elsewhere.
Edward R. Murrow
Don't be deluded into believing that the titular heads of the networks control what appears on their networks. They all have better taste.
Edward R. Murrow
The real crucial link in the international exchange is the last three feet, which is bridged by personal contact, one person talking to another.
Edward R. Murrow
We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.
Edward R. Murrow
Speaking of Sir Winston Churchill: He mobilized the English language and sent it into battle.
Edward R. Murrow
One of the basic troubles with radio and television news is that both instruments have grown up as an incompatible combination of show business, advertising and news. Each of the three is a rather bizarre and demanding profession. And when you get all three under one roof, the dust never settles.
Edward R. Murrow
Tuberculosis, starvation, fatigue, and there are many who have no desire to live.
Edward R. Murrow
A thing of orchestrated hell-a terrible symphony of light and flame.
Edward R. Murrow
I am frightened by the imbalance, the constant striving to reach the largest possible audience for everything by the absence of a sustained study of the state of the nation.
Edward R. Murrow
