More quotes by Walter Cronkite
We must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a World Government, patterned after our Own Government with a legislature, executive and judiciary, and police to enforce its international laws and keep the peace.
Walter Cronkite
Everything is being compressed into tiny tablets. You take a little pill of news every day-23 minutes-and that's supposed to be enough.
Walter Cronkite
When you're bringing in a fairly unknown candidate challenging a sitting president, the population needs a lot more information than reduced coverage provides.
Walter Cronkite
The perils of duck hunting are great- especially for the duck.
Walter Cronkite
Would it be better to have a president who cries easily? Well, that depends on what he cried about. I would not like the thought of a president who could not cry. That would be worse than one who cried over the right things. Which, in this case, would be the things I would cry over.
Walter Cronkite
For many years, I did my best to report on the issues of the day in as objective a manner as possible. When I had my own strong opinions, as I often did, I tried not to communicate them to my audience. Now, however, my circumstances are different. I am in a position to speak my mind. And that is what I propose to do.
Walter Cronkite
I've gone from the most trusted man in America to one of the most debated.
Walter Cronkite
And that's the way it is.
Walter Cronkite
Be kind to an old man.
Walter Cronkite
There is no such thing as a little freedom. Either you are all free, or you are not free.
Walter Cronkite
I am a news presenter, a news broadcaster, an anchorman, a managing editor - not a commentator or analyst. I feel no compulsion to be a pundit.
Walter Cronkite
We're living in a state where no one can trust his telephone conversations, nor even his personal conversations in a room, in a bar or anywhere else.
Walter Cronkite
The ethic of the journalist is to recognize one's prejudices, biases, and avoid getting them into print.
Walter Cronkite
Ethics must be reintroduced to public service to restore people's faith in government. Without such faith, democracy cannot flourish. Your ambitious agenda is filling a desperate need.
Walter Cronkite
Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.
Walter Cronkite
I'm a romanticist in many ways. I never get behind the wheel of my boat and dropping the anchor without saying to myself, secretly giving my orders to the crew All right, lift the anchor, we're on our way to South Hampton. We're gonna beat them there with this load of tea!
Walter Cronkite
I grew my mustache when I was nineteen in order to look older. I never shaved it off even though it overran its usefulness many, many years ago. Once you get started in television, people associate you with your physical appearance - and that includes the mustache. So I can't shave it off now. If I did, I'd have to answer too much mail.
Walter Cronkite
Not only do we have a right to know, we have a duty to know what our Government is doing in our name. If there's a criticism to be made today, it's that the press isn't doing enough to put the pressure on the government to provide information.
Walter Cronkite
I am not a contemplative type, basically. I am much more of an action person and, as a consequence, I look forward to today and tomorrow and what's breaking.
Walter Cronkite
I'd like to be a song and dance man.
