Walter Cronkite Quotes:

Ocupation: Journalist

Life: November 4, 1916 - July 17, 2009

Birthday: November 4

Death: July 17

It seems to many of us that if we are to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government patterned after our own government with a legislature, executive and judiciary, and police to enforce its international laws and keep the peace. To do that, of course, we Americans will have to yield up some of our sovereignty. That would be a bitter pill. It would take a lot of courage, a lot of faith in the new order.

- Walter Cronkite
