Hyperbole was to Lyndon Johnson what oxygen is to life.
Bill Moyers

Barack Obama strikes me as a man of strong principles and weak convictions - the kind of guy who would rather teach constitutional law than practice it, or who'd rather watch the match alone on TV than arm-wrestle his opponents.

Bill Moyers
Image

Conservatism is less a set of ideas than it is a pathological distemper, a militant anger over the fact that the universe is not closed and life is not static.
Bill Moyers
Image
We see more and more of our Presidents and know less and less about what they do.
Bill Moyers
Image
I'm the front man, I'm the man on camera, but there's a whole team beyond me.
Bill Moyers
Image
I take We, the People seriously because I don't know how we build a civilization without reciprocity.
Bill Moyers
Image
Democracy may not prove in the long run to be as efficient as other forms of government, but it has one saving grace: it allows us to know and say that it isn't.
Bill Moyers
Image
Plutocracy too long tolerated leaves democracy on the auction block, subject to the highest bidder.
Bill Moyers
Image
When I learn something new - and it happens every day - I feel a little more at home in this universe, a little more comfortable in the nest.
Bill Moyers
Image
There's hardly a more bitter pill to take than when a President disappoints the people who most believed in him.
Bill Moyers
Image
Watching the debate this afternoon it was apparent they loved term limits in the House - as Brutus loved Caesar.

Charity depends on the vicissitudes of whim and personal wealth justice depends on commitment instead of circumstance. Faith-based charity provides crumbs from the table faith-based justice offers a place at the table.
