Americans will put up with anything provided it doesn't block traffic.
Dan Rather
An intellectual snob is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture and not think of The Lone Ranger.
Dan Rather
Are the Democrats going to dance the mandate macarena?
Dan Rather
Be careful. Journalism is more addictive than crack cocaine. Your life can get out of balance.
Dan Rather
By more than two to one Americans do not consider what Kevorkian did, injecting a terminally ill patient with legal drugs at the patient's request, to be the same as murder. You may want to note that laws are not supposed to be enforced on the basis of public opinion polls.
Dan Rather
Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.
Dan Rather
Folks, let me point out something to you, because for a lot of people in Washington, they could not be more surprised if Fidel Castro came loping through on the back of a hippopotamus this Election Night.
Dan Rather
For years Don Imus was just - boy, he was merciless in his criticism of me. Maybe it was justified, but that didn't mean it didn't hurt.
Dan Rather
I got addicted. News, particularly daily news, is more addictive than crack cocaine, more addictive than heroin, more addictive than cigarettes.
Dan Rather
I had someone at the Houston police station shoot me with heroin so I could do a story about it. The experience was a special kind of hell. I came out understanding full well how one could be addicted to 'smack,' and quickly.
Dan Rather
I'm proud to say I've never been anybody's lapdog...
Dan Rather
I've always tried to be fair, even-handed, not an advocate for any group.
Dan Rather
I've tried everything. I can say to you with confidence, I know a fair amount about LSD. I've never been a social user of any of these things, but my curiosity has carried me into a lot of interesting areas.
Dan Rather
If you liked this broadcast, we hope you'll watch it again tomorrow night and maybe tell your neighbors about it.
Dan Rather
Journalists should denounce government by public opinion polls.
Dan Rather
Never eat spinach just before going on the air.

Texas: 32 electoral votes, another of the so-called big enchiladas or if not an enchilada at least a huge taco.
Dan Rather
The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth";
Dan Rather
The Michigan Republican primary apparently is tighter than Willie Nelson's headband.
Dan Rather
The reelection of Bill Clinton is as secure as a double-knot tied in wet rawhide.
Dan Rather
These races are tick-tight.
Dan Rather
They may have turned this up, whether you had the Paula Jones case or not. But again maybe not, but again that's like if a frog had side pockets he'd probably wear a handgun.
Dan Rather
They say California's the big burrito; Texas is a big taco right now. We want to follow that through. Florida is a big tamale.
Dan Rather
This race between Dick Swett and Bob Smith is hot and tight as a too-small bathing suit on a too-long car ride back from the beach.
Dan Rather
Those market researchers... are playing games with you and me and with this entire country. Their so-called samples of opinion are no more accurate or reliable than my grandmother's big toe was when it came to predicting the weather.
Dan Rather
Those of you watching and listening, get a cup of coffee or a spot of tea and join us back here in just a few moments.
Dan Rather
We may see Michael Jackson's baby before we know the final outcome of this race for the House of Representatives tonight.
Dan Rather
What I say or do here won't matter much, nor should it.
