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
We've always known you can gain circulation or viewers by cheapening the product, and now you're finding the bad driving out the good.
Walter Cronkite
I think most newspapermen by definition have to be liberal if they're not liberal, by definition of it, then they can hardly be good newspapermen. If they're preordained dogmatists for a cause, then they can't be very good journalists.
Walter Cronkite
People who understand music hear sounds that no one else makes when Frank Sinatra sings.
Walter Cronkite
