More quotes by Edward R. Murrow
To be credible we must be truthful.
Edward R. Murrow
We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
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
This instrument [radio] can teach. It can illuminate, yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it's nothing but wires and lights in a box.
Edward R. Murrow
We will not be driven by fear ... if we remember that we are not descended from fearful men.
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
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
A blur of blinks, taps, jiggles, pivots and shifts ... the body language of a man wishing urgently to be elsewhere.
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
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
People say conversation is a lost art how often I have wished it were.
Edward R. Murrow
Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts.
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
The obscure we always see sooner or later the obvious always seems to take a little longer.
Edward R. Murrow
Anyone who isn't confused really doesn't understand the situation.
Edward R. Murrow
A satellite has no conscience.
Edward R. Murrow
Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices - just recognize them.
Edward R. Murrow
A thing of orchestrated hell-a terrible symphony of light and flame.
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
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
