More quotes by Walter Cronkite

Walter Cronkite
Objective journalism and an opinion column are about as similar as the Bible and Playboy magazine.
Walter Cronkite
The battle for the airwaves cannot be limited to only those who have the bank accounts to pay for the battle and win it.
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
I am neither Republican nor Democrat. I am a registered independent because I find that I cast my votes not on the basis of party loyalty but on the issues of the moment and my assessment of the candidates.
Walter Cronkite
It seems now more certain than ever that the bloody experience of Vietnam is to end in a stalemate.
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
Success is more permanent when you achieve it without destroying your principles.
