Our task is not to tell the truth we are opinion molders.
Walter Cronkite
We know that no one should tell a woman she has to bear an unwanted child. We know that religious beliefs cannot define patriotism.
Walter Cronkite
We are the lucky generation. We first broke our earthly bonds and ventured into space. From our descendants- perches on other planets or distant space cities, they will look back at our achievement with wonder at our courage and audacity and with appreciation at our accomplishments, which assured the future in which they live.
Walter Cronkite
I've gone from the most trusted man in America to one of the most debated.
Walter Cronkite
Interviewing friends is a tough one. Your duty to the interview must transcend your friendship. Occasionally you'll lose a friend.
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.
