Edward R Murrow Quotes

Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts Picture Quote #1

The only thing that counts is the right to know, to speak, to think - that, and the sanctity of the courts. Otherwise it’s not America Picture Quote #1

Of this be wary. Honor and fame are often regarded as interchangeable. Both involve an appraisal of the individual... But I suggest this difference. Fame is morally neutral Picture Quote #1

I have always been on the side of the heretics, against those who burned them, because the heretics so often turned out to be right... Dead, but right Picture Quote #1

I would like television to produce some itching pills rather than this endless outpouring of tranquilizers Picture Quote #1

Language is the memory of man. Without it he has no past, a paltry present, and an empty future. With it he can bring his dreams to life Picture Quote #1

Language is one of the greatest gifts man has devised for himself. It ranks, alongside the discovery of fire and the wheel, as a major influence in making modern man what he is today Picture Quote #1

Don’t be deluded into believing that the titular heads of the networks control what appears on their networks. They all have better taste Picture Quote #1

Seldom, if ever, has a war ended leaving the victors with such a sense of uncertainty and fear, with such a realization that the future is obscure and that survival is not assured Picture Quote #1

A reporter is always concerned with tomorrow. There’s nothing tangible of yesterday. All I can say I’ve done is agitate the air ten or fifteen minutes and then boom - it’s gone Picture Quote #1

Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices - just recognize them Picture Quote #1

We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it Picture Quote #1

After last night’s debate, the reputation of Messieurs Lincoln and Douglas is secure Picture Quote #1

American traditions and the American ethic require us to be truthful, but the most important reason is that truth is the best propaganda and lies are the worst. To be persuasive we must be believable; to be believable we must be credible; to be credible we must be truthful. It is as simple as that Picture Quote #1

As I walked down to the end of the barracks, there was applause from the men too weak to get out of bed. It sounded like the hand clapping of babies; they were so weak Picture Quote #1

We have currently a built-in allergy to unpleasant or disturbing information. Our mass media reflect this. But unless we get up off our fat surpluses and recognize that television in the main is being used to distract, delude, amuse, and insulate us, then television and those who finance it, those who look at it, and those who work at it, may see a totally different picture too late Picture Quote #1

It has always seemed to me the real art in this business is not so much moving information or guidance or policy five or 10,000 miles. That is an electronic problem. The real art is to move it the last three feet in face to face conversation Picture Quote #1

The script for this film was written 52 years ago by Edward R. Murrow, who taught us many valuable lessons about responsibility and always, always questioned authority, because without it authority often goes unchecked Picture Quote #1

One of the basic troubles with radio and television news is that both instruments have grown up as an incompatible combination of show business, advertising and news. Each of the three is a rather bizarre and demanding profession. And when you get all three under one roof, the dust never settles Picture Quote #1

Putting people in a room and strapping wires to their wrist to find out if I make them tingle when I’m telling them about Beirut is a long way from Edward R. Murrow Picture Quote #1

Just because your voice reaches halfway around the world doesn’t mean you are wiser than when it reached only to the end of the bar Picture Quote #1

To be persuasive we must be believable;to be believable we must be creditable;to be credible we must be truthful Picture Quote #1

Our history will be what we make of it. If we go on as we are, then history will take its revenge and retribution will not limp in catching up with us. So, just once in a while let us exhault the importance of ideas and information Picture Quote #1

The politician is . . . trained in the art of inexactitude. His words tend to be blunt or rounded, because if they have a cutting edge they may later return to wound him Picture Quote #1

We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men ... We proclaim ourselves, as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom, wherever it continues to exist in the world, but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home Picture Quote #1

We will not be driven by fear ... if we remember that we are not descended from fearful men Picture Quote #1

We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another Picture Quote #1
