It is not the reporter's job ...

It is not the reporter's job to be a patriot or to presume to determine where patriotism lies. His job is to relate the facts.

Walter Cronkite 126 quotes

We know that no one should tell a woman she has to bear an unwanted child. We know that religious beliefs cannot define patriotism.

Walter Cronkite 126 quotes

I don't think people ought to...

I don't think people ought to believe only one news medium. They ought to read and they ought to go to opinion journals and all the rest of it. I think it's terribly important that this be taught in the public schools, because otherwise, we're gonna get to a situation because of economic pressures and other things where television's all you've got left. And that would be disastrous. We can't cover the news in a half-hour event evening. That's ridiculous.

We the people have the strength to bring our country from our weak-kneed stumbling gait in the last ranks of reason to the leadership of the great march to environmental victory.

The death of Churchill at 90 ...

The death of Churchill at 90 was one of those watershed moments in which the obituary rises to a special calling beyond the sharing of remembered times. It gave an older generation a rare opportunity to explain something of itself to its children.

I've got a 12-year-old grandson who, when he was 3 years old, before he could say many other words, could name the different kinds of dinosaurs.

Walter Cronkite 126 quotes

You think you would react one...

You think you would react one way when a situation develops and, and when the sharp shells are flying, you don't quite stand up like you think you might.

Walter Cronkite 126 quotes

I think somebody ought to do ...

I think somebody ought to do a survey as to how many great, important men have quit to spend time with their families who spent any more time with their family.

I am a news presenter, a news...

I am a news presenter, a news broadcaster, an anchorman, a managing editor - not a commentator or analyst.

Walter Cronkite 126 quotes

I did not believe that the pu...

I did not believe that the public was sophisticated enough to understand that a newsman could wear several hats and that we had the ability to turn off - nearly, you can't say perfectly, but nearly - all of our prejudices and biases.

Walter Cronkite 126 quotes

I simply told people what I t...

I simply told people what I thought about the state of the war in Vietnam, and it was that we better get out of this.

Walter Cronkite 126 quotes

I take a certain pride in having maintained a reputation for fast copy throughout my newspaper career. Fast-breaking stories left my typewriter in a hurry. Not great literature, perhaps, but fast, and usually accurate.

Walter Cronkite 126 quotes

On television, I tried to absolutely hew to the middle of the road and not show any prejudice or bias in any way.

Walter Cronkite 126 quotes

I write pretty quickly. Write...

I write pretty quickly. Write pretty fast. I was an old press service man. That was part of the necessity of that occupation.

Walter Cronkite 126 quotes

I think there are a lot of good pieces that can be covered in 20 minutes that don't need an hour, but by the same token, there are things that need an hour or more.

I have never voted a party line. I vote on the individual and the issues.

Walter Cronkite 126 quotes

I feel no compulsion to be a pundit. As a matter of fact, I really don't have that much to say about most things. Working with hard news satisfies me completely.

Walter Cronkite 126 quotes

Sometimes a famous subject may even outlive his own obituary writer.

Walter Cronkite 126 quotes

Anybody who's spent thirteen or fourteen years in print journalism has a lot of stories he thinks were inwardly satisfying as far as preparation, understanding, and diligence.

Walter Cronkite 126 quotes

In journalism, we recognize a...

In journalism, we recognize a kind of hierarchy of fame among the famous. We measure it in two ways: by the length of an obituary and by how far in advance it is prepared. Presidents, former presidents, and certain heads of state are at the top of the chain.
