More quotes by Walter Cronkite
To say that we are closer to victory today is to believe, in the face of the evidence, the optimists who have been wrong in the past.
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
I think he [composer Joe Raposo] was the first man who kissed me on the cheek.

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.

Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.
Walter Cronkite
If that is what makes us liberals, so be it, just as long as in reporting the news we adhere to the first ideals of good journalism - that news reports must be fair, accurate and unbiased.
Walter Cronkite
The great sadness of my life is that I never achieved the hour newscast, which would not have been twice as good as the half-hour newscast, but many times as good.
Walter Cronkite
I guess I showed certain signs of being a workaholic in early years I had a magazine route very early on - I must have been about seven or eight years old or something like that - when I was carrying Liberty magazine, trying to win green and brown coupons I eventually [won] a pony.
Walter Cronkite
Everybody knows that there's a liberal, that there's a heavy liberal persuasion among correspondents.
Walter Cronkite
Television [is] a high-impact medium. It does some things no other force can do-transmitting electronic pictures through the air. Still, as an explored, comprehensive medium, it is not a substitute for print.
Walter Cronkite
I'd like to be a song and dance man.
Walter Cronkite
The profession of journalism ought to be about telling people what they need to know - not what they want to know.
Walter Cronkite
The sweet smell of the South, of Camellias and Azaleas, clings to Beaufort's ancient and historic buildings.
Walter Cronkite
In seeking truth you have to get both sides of a story.
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.
