Lyndon B. Johnson
The best fertilizer for a piece of land is the footprints of its owner.
Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon B. Johnson
A man without a vote is man without protection.
Lyndon B. Johnson
When things haven't gone well for you, call in a secretary or a staff man and chew him out. You will sleep better and they will appreciate the attention.
Lyndon B. Johnson
You never want to give a man a present when he's feeling good. You want to do it when he's down.
Lyndon B. Johnson
