Charles Kuralt Quotes

My parents encouraged me in everything I ever wanted to do Picture Quote #1

Look for joy in your life; it’s not always easy to find Picture Quote #1

Just by luck, I picked good heroes to worship Picture Quote #1

I’m not any kind of social reformer Picture Quote #1

I used to think that driving, sleepless, ambitious labor was what you needed to succeed Picture Quote #1

I would like to explore some side roads in life while I am still in good health and good spirits Picture Quote #1

The sparrows are preparing for winter, each one dressed in a plain brown coat and singing a cheerful song Picture Quote #1

You can’t travel the back roads very long without discovering a multitude of gentle people doing good for others with no expectation of gain or recognition. The everyday kindness of the back roads more than makes up for the acts of greed in the headlines. Some people out there spend their whole lives selflessly Picture Quote #1

I remember being in the public library and my jaw just aching as I looked around at all those books I wanted to read. There just wasn’t time enough to read everything I wanted to read Picture Quote #1

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to be a reporter. I don’t know where I got the idea that it was a romantic calling Picture Quote #1

I can’t say that I’ve changed anybody’s life, ever, and that’s the real work of the world, if you want a better society Picture Quote #1

I had a little insight into life that most kids probably didn’t have. My mother was a schoolteacher, and my father was a social worker. Through his eyes I saw the underside of society Picture Quote #1

I suppose I was a little bit of what would be called today a nerd. I didn’t have girlfriends, and really I wasn’t a very social boy Picture Quote #1

I think all those people I did stories about measured their own success by the joy their work was giving them Picture Quote #1

Now that I look back on it, having retired from being a reporter, it was kind of romantic. It was a wonderful way to live one’s life, just as I imagined it would be when I was 6 or 7 Picture Quote #1

The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege Picture Quote #1

When I was a little boy I used to borrow my father’s hat, and make a press card to stick in the hat band. That was the way reporters were always portrayed in the movies Picture Quote #1

You can find your way across this country using burger joints the way a navigator uses stars Picture Quote #1

A country so rich that it can send people to the moon still has hundreds of thousands of its citizens who can’t read. That’s terribly troubling to me Picture Quote #1

For a while there, I was a stringer. The expression comes from the old habit of stringing together the column inches that you had written. They’d measure it and pay you 10 cents an inch for your printed copy Picture Quote #1

I could tell you which writer’s rhythms I am imitating. It’s not exactly plagiarism, it’s falling in love with good language and trying to imitate it Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I had a reputation as a hard worker, but inside I was always being eaten up by the pressures Picture Quote #1

Often I have been exhausted on trout streams, uncomfortable, wet, cold, briar scarred, sunburned, mosquito bitten, but never, with a fly rod in my hand have I been less than in a place that was less than beautiful Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t a very discriminating reader. I read just about everything that came along Picture Quote #1

I would love to write something that people would still read 50 or 100 years from now. That comes with growing older, I think Picture Quote #1

In television, everything is gone with the speed of light, literally. It is no field for anybody with intimations of immortality Picture Quote #1

It does no harm just once in a while to acknowledge that the whole country isn’t in flames, that there are people in the country besides politicians, entertainers, and criminals Picture Quote #1

It’s best to leap into something you know you love. You might change your mind later, but that is the privilege of youth Picture Quote #1

My mother, at least twice, cancelled our family’s subscription to the newspaper I was working on, because she was so mad about its treatment of my father Picture Quote #1
