More quotes by Edward R. Murrow
Our major obligation is not to mistake slogans for solutions.
Edward R. Murrow
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
All I can hope to teach my son is to tell the truth and fear no man.
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
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
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
Tuberculosis, starvation, fatigue, and there are many who have no desire to live.
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
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.
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
To be credible we must be truthful.
Edward R. Murrow
We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.
Edward R. Murrow
We are in the same tent as the clowns and the freaks - that's show business.
Edward R. Murrow
Anyone who isn't confused really doesn't understand the situation.
Edward R. Murrow
Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices - just recognize them.
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
I would like television to produce some itching pills rather than this endless outpouring of tranquilizers.
Edward R. Murrow
Just once in a while, let us exalt 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
A satellite has no conscience.
