More quotes by Walter Cronkite
We are on the precipice of being so ignorant that our democracy is threatened.
Walter Cronkite
Reagan was an exceedingly likeable guy, just a heck of a nice fellow, despite his politics. He was funny and loved a good joke, the dirtier, I'm afraid the more ethnic, the better. I don't think he brought very much to the presidency, except charisma and success.

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!

We are not educated well enough to perform the necessary act of intelligently selecting our leaders.
Walter Cronkite
Putting it as strongly as I can, the failure to give free airtime for our political campaigns endangers our democracy.
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
Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.
Walter Cronkite
Never before probably has the need for interfaith commitment been nearly as great as it is at this very moment.
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
America's health care system is neither healthy, caring, nor a system.
Walter Cronkite
When the Eagle landed on the moon, I was speechless—overwhelmed, like most of the world. Couldn't say a word. I think all I said was, 'Wow! Jeez!' Not exactly immortal. Well, I was nothing if not human.
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.
Walter Cronkite
Old anchormen, you see, don't fade away. They just keep coming back for more. And that's the way it is, Friday, March 6, 1981.
Walter Cronkite
Justice was born outside the home and a long way from it and it has never been adopted there
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
I think he [composer Joe Raposo] was the first man who kissed me on the cheek.
