More From Dan Rather
- "I had just turned 10-years-old when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and plunged America into World War II."
- "A free and truly independent press – fiercely independent when necessary – is the red beating heart of freedom and democracy."

More In Government
- "Government is force, pure and simple. There’s no way to sugar-coat that. And because government is force, it will attract the worst elements of society – people who want to use government to avoid having to earn their living and to avoid having to persuade others to accept their ideas voluntarily."― Harry Browne
- "The corporations don’t have to lobby the government anymore. They are the government."― Jim Hightower
- "Look at our Lords disciples. One denied Him; one doubted Him; one betrayed Him. If our Lord couldn’t have perfection, how are you going to have it in city government?"― Richard J. Daley
