More quotes by Edward R. Murrow

Edward R. Murrow
Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts.

It has always seemed to me the real art in this business is not so much moving information or guidance or policy five or 10,000 miles. That is an electronic problem. The real art is to move it the last three feet in face to face conversation.
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
People say conversation is a lost art how often I have wished it were.
Edward R. Murrow
We cannot make good news out of bad practice.
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
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
Just once in a while, let us exalt the importance of ideas and information.
Edward R. Murrow
A satellite has no conscience.
Edward R. Murrow
I would like television to produce some itching pills rather than this endless outpouring of tranquilizers.
Edward R. Murrow
