More quotes by Edward R. Murrow
We will not be driven by fear ... if we remember that we are not descended from fearful men.
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
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

Edward R. Murrow
We cannot make good news out of bad practice.
Edward R. Murrow

Edward R. Murrow
Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts.
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 must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.
Edward R. Murrow
To be credible we must be truthful.
Edward R. Murrow
Speaking of Sir Winston Churchill: He mobilized the English language and sent it into battle.
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
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
Tuberculosis, starvation, fatigue, and there are many who have no desire to live.
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
It is well to remember that freedom through the press is the thing that comes first. Most of us probably feel we couldn't be free without newspapers, and that is the real reason we want the newspapers to be free.
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
