William Randolph Hearst

You furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war.

A newspaper is a public institution, and it is a sacred trust.

The only thing that really matters is the story.

I want to be able to tell the people what to think.

I could have been a great writer, but I chose to be a great newspaperman.

Don't print the news, make it.

I am not interested in being a rich man, but I am interested in being a powerful one.

My father always told me that if I wanted to succeed in life I must always have a purpose.

I believe in the power of the press to shape public opinion.

I never started a fight, but I finished a good many.

Every man has his price.

I adore the ridiculous.

If a thing is worth doing, it's worth doing badly.

I am a collector. I collect everything.

I get my ideas from looking at the world around me.

I don't think there is anything more interesting than a good story.

The public is always right.

I like to be surrounded by beautiful things.

My greatest pleasure is to make things happen.

I never lose my temper, but I sometimes mislay it.
