It's been 10 years since famed ABC News television anchor Peter Jennings passed away after losing his battle with lung cancer at the age of 67, but viewers remembered his legacy and his fellow ABC anchors paid tribute to him on the anniversary of his death.

In a Facebook post, ABC News said Jennings was the voice of the network for more than four decades, according to ABC 7 News. Embedded along with the post was a 30-second clip of one of Jennings' most famous quotes, where he spoke about his love of his job as a journalist and a reporter.

"I get up every day thinking that something is going to happen in the world that I didn't know about yesterday, and I have the opportunity to pass some of that on to the audience," Jennings said, according to the clip. It cuts to Jennings' legendary coverage as the Berlin Wall fell. "There is no one absolutely essential truth for all," he said.

ABC News' David Muir said viewers sent messages to ABC on the 10-year anniversary of his passing on Aug. 7, 2005. Muir paid tribute to Jennings and shared another memorable quote about his view on the outlook of American citizens, according to ABC News.

"By and large I think Americans are really hopeful people and I think there's a great beauty in that," Jennings once said. "Lots of differences in the country, but there's a common denominator I think about being in America and of this society that breeds hopefulness."
