More quotes by Edward R. Murrow
Our history will be what we make of it. If we go on as we are, then history will take its revenge and retribution will not limp in catching up with us. So, just once in a while let us exhault the importance of ideas and information.
Edward R. Murrow
We will not be driven by fear ... if we remember that we are not descended from fearful men.
Edward R. Murrow
In order to progress, radio need only go backward, to the time when singing commercials were not allowed on news reports, when there was no middle commercial on a news report, when radio was rather proud, alert and fast.
Edward R. Murrow
People say conversation is a lost art how often I have wished it were.
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
A satellite has no conscience.
Edward R. Murrow
Speaking of Sir Winston Churchill: He mobilized the English language and sent it into battle.
Edward R. Murrow
We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.
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
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
A thing of orchestrated hell-a terrible symphony of light and flame.
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
All I can hope to teach my son is to tell the truth and fear no man.
Edward R. Murrow
If none of us ever read a book that was dangerous, had a friend who was different, or joined an organization that advocated change, we would all be the kind of people Joe McCarthy wants.
Edward R. Murrow
Anyone who isn't confused really doesn't understand the situation.
Edward R. Murrow
We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
Edward R. Murrow
It appeared that most of the men and boys had died of starvation they had not been executed. But the manner of death seemed unimportant. Murder had been done at Buchenwald. God alone knows how many men and boys have died there during the last twelve years.
