Edward R. Murrow
Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts.
Edward R. Murrow
Our major obligation is not to mistake slogans for solutions.
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
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
We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
Edward R. Murrow
We cannot make good news out of bad practice.
