It’s the American way: if you don’t vote, you don’t get to whine Picture Quote #1

Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow Picture Quote #1

Dan would rather play golf than have sex any day Picture Quote #1

What I say or do here won’t matter much, nor should it Picture Quote #1

A very high trapeze act, frequently with no net Picture Quote #1

The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called ‘truth’ Picture Quote #1

A girl doesn't need anyone who doesn't need her

Together is my favorite place to be

CBS fought very hard on this because it believed and believes that there’s a principle at stake here. The principle is that Dan Rather doesn’t work for the police, and that people that speak to Dan Rather understand that he’s a journalist and not a police agent Picture Quote #1

Were this not Texas, were there not a state where there were no protections at all and where the law was clear on that, I think CBS and Mary Mapes and Dan Rather and all of us had a very good chance of winning. So this is an ongoing battle about an issue of principle Picture Quote #1

Those market researchers... are playing games with you and me and with this entire country. Their so-called samples of opinion are no more accurate or reliable than my grandmother’s big toe was when it came to predicting the weather Picture Quote #1

You’d better do what you feel good about doing. If we [try] to figure out what it is the audience wants and then try to deliver it to them, we’re lost souls on the ghost ship forever Picture Quote #1

As someone who’s been covering presidential campaigns since the 1950s, I have no delusions about political reporting. Candidates bargaining access to get the kind of news coverage they want is nothing new Picture Quote #1

Covering the civil-rights movement was a mind- and eye-opener for me. Houston was a segregated society, as was Texas as a whole - some of it by law, a lot of it by fear and tradition. But there was no violence where I lived, and if there was hate, it was either concealed from me or I just didn’t recognize it Picture Quote #1

The darkest nights produce the brightest stars

I never make the same mistake twice. I make it five or six times, just to be sure

Now, I know you expected me to say that, well, I just kick back in the rocking chair, fished a little bit, listened to Willie Nelson tapes and watched old baseball games on the Classic Sports network. And, tell you the truth, I have done that for maybe about five total minutes Picture Quote #1

This much we know: Journalism is not a precise science. It’s, on its best day, is a crude art. We make mistakes; I make mistakes. With more than 50 years as a journalist, I have at least had the opportunity to blow more stories, make more mistakes than maybe anybody in television Picture Quote #1

I think Dan [Rather] is transparently liberal. Now he may not like to hear me say that. I always agree with him, too. But I think he should be more careful Picture Quote #1

On Capitol Hill, the Republican-controlled House voted mostly along party lines tonight to pass President Bush’s federal budget blueprint. This includes his big tax cut plan, partly bankrolled, critics say, through cuts in many federal aid programs for children and education Picture Quote #1

President Bush insisted today that he was not caving in to big money contributors, big-time lobbyists, and overall industry pressure when he broke a campaign promise to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. But the air was thick today with accusations from people who believe that’s exactly what happened Picture Quote #1

CBS is planning a tribute to Dan Rather... the memo went out a month ago but everyone assumed it was a fake Picture Quote #1

Chocolate is the answer. Who cares what the question is

When we first met, i had no idea you would be so important to me

Music is important. It says things you heart can’t say any other way, and in a language everyone speaks. Music crosses borders, turns smiles into frowns, and vice versa. These observations are shared with a hope: that, when schools cut back on music classes, they really think about what they’re doing - and don’t take music for granted Picture Quote #1

One of the interpreters hired by CBS for the Dan Rather/Saddam Hussein interview adopted a phony Arabic accent. You know, maybe CBS should have hired somebody with a fake Dan Rather accent to ask tougher questions Picture Quote #1

Walter [Cronkite] sang me a little sea chantey. The verse ended, ‘Just watch your back with Dan [Rather], dear, just watch your back with Dan.’ Picture Quote #1

106 [degrees] in the valley... I was sweating like Dan Rather checking for forged documents Picture Quote #1

Republicans are now saying that Dan Rather should lose his job because he misled the country with bogus information. Which is odd because the Democrats are saying the exact same thing about President Bush Picture Quote #1

Despite what many Americans think, most Soviets do not yearn for capitalism or Western-style democracy Picture Quote #1

And then you meet one person and your life changes forever

If cats could talk, they wouldn't

One finds oneself saying: ‘I know the right question, but ... this is not exactly the right time to ask it.’ Picture Quote #1

The reelection of Bill Clinton is as secure as a double-knot tied in wet rawhide Picture Quote #1

We are the can do country. We adjust to situations better than any people in the history of the world... We adjust to change Picture Quote #1

Those of you watching and listening, get a cup of coffee or a spot of tea and join us back here in just a few moments Picture Quote #1

I grew up in the era when Dan Rather hated Richard Nixon. He was a newsman, but you knew what his opinion was Picture Quote #1

What I think is highly inappropriate is what’s going on across the Internet, a kind of political jihad against Dan Rather and CBS News that’s quite outrageous Picture Quote #1
