Sam Donaldson Quotes

I don’t know many people, if any, who have had some straight line toward success. I mean, they start here, they work hard, they’ve got what it takes, and they just go straight to the top over some number of years. Most people get a little failure Picture Quote #1

If you have a setback, and you’re not doing well and then you overcome it somehow, it always sticks with you. You know it could happen again Picture Quote #1

Some days the competition would beat me and I’d go home thinking awful thoughts, want to hide under the bed, depressed. But of course, in the news business, when you’re working a daily news broadcast, you get your victories and defeats every day Picture Quote #1

As I went to college, I went into radio and television. Now I suppose most people think that’s one step ahead of basket weaving as a major in college, but it was part of the journalism department Picture Quote #1

I saw a large, red dried swath that I immediately identified clearly as blood. I covered the war in Vietnam. I saw a lot of it [blood] there Picture Quote #1

Call me a braggart, call me arrogant. People at ABC (and elsewhere) have called me worse. But when you need the job done on deadline, you’ll call me Picture Quote #1

Let’s face it many on the political right believe this President ought not to be there. They oppose him not for his policies and political view but for who he is, an African-American Picture Quote #1

But in 1941, on December 8th, after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, my mother bought a radio and we listened to the war news. We’d not had a radio up to that time. I was born in 1934, so I was seven years of age Picture Quote #1

And on election night I’d go down to city hall in El Paso, Texas and cover the election. In those days, of course, we didn’t have exit polls. You didn’t know who had won the election until they actually counted the votes. I thought that was exciting too Picture Quote #1

But I guess the lesson is this: If you don’t have confidence in yourself and think that you are worth hiring, or whatever it is, you can’t expect anyone else to Picture Quote #1

But as a young kid, I never did, really have an ambition to be a farmer. I never thought, gee, I would like to farm, and I want to raise these crops. I didn’t quite know what I wanted to do Picture Quote #1

My personal opinion is that guns kill people Picture Quote #1

The press... traditionally sides with authority and the establishment Picture Quote #1

It was kind of exciting being on the radio. Not everybody was on the radio Picture Quote #1

The questions don’t do the damage. Only the answers do Picture Quote #1

And really, the basis, I think, of achieving some success in what I want to do today comes from my mother’s push to get me to read and to make something of myself from the standpoint of an education Picture Quote #1

I’d rather work with someone who’s good at their job but doesn’t like me, than someone who likes me but is a ninny Picture Quote #1

I was a typical farm boy. I liked the farm. I enjoyed the things that you do on a farm, go down to the drainage ditch and fish, and look at the crawfish and pick a little cotton Picture Quote #1

If you have a setback, and you’re not doing well and then you overcome it somehow, it always sticks with you. You know it could happen again Picture Quote #1

My mother did all she could to control me, but at age 14 she sent me to a military school Picture Quote #1

My mother gave me a push. If I hadn’t had her, maybe I wouldn’t have had the push. If I hadn’t gone to military school, maybe I wouldn’t have decided to get with the program. Maybe I’d be running a bulldozer, rather than going on and doing something more Picture Quote #1

There was a little bit of ham in me. And there’s a lot of people say there’s a lot of ham in me Picture Quote #1

But my observation has been, certainly in the news business, you’ve got to give 110 percent Picture Quote #1

The truth is, when I got started in this business, it wasn’t because I had a full understanding of the importance of the business, but because I thought it was fun. I found it exciting. It fulfilled me, whatever it was that I was looking for Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be in this business, and once I got into the business I knew I enjoyed it, and I liked it, and I wanted to continue, but I never had a five year plan Picture Quote #1

I can’t tell you what that little ingredient is which makes that first person want to go on and aggressively do more, and the other person be content to not do that. It’s a mystery, but it does happen Picture Quote #1

And from a military school which taught me that to fit into society, you can’t just do anything you damn well please because it will suit you. And that it’s much better to be with the winners than it is with the losers Picture Quote #1
