More quotes by Lyndon B. Johnson
Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time.
Lyndon B. Johnson
In my state, on the basis of the separate but equal doctrine, we have made enormous strides over the years in the education of both races. Personally, I think it would have been sounder judgment to allow that progress to continue through the process of natural evolution. However, there is no point crying about spilt milk.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.
Lyndon B. Johnson
He's a nice guy, but he played too much football with his helmet off.

Lyndon B. Johnson
Control of space means control of the world.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The exercise of power in this century has meant for all of us in the United States not arrogance, but agony.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The men who have guided the destiny of the United States have found the strength for their tasks by going to their knees. This private unity of public men and their God is an enduring source of reassurance for the people of America.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I'm the only president you've got.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Greater love hath no man than to attend the Episcopal Church with his wife.
Lyndon B. Johnson
There are no favorites in my office. I treat them all with the same general inconsideration.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I am proud to be a member of a party that opens its doors to all men--and closes its hearts to none.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I am a compromiser and maneuverer. I try to get something. That's the way our system works.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Evil acts of the past are never rectified by evil acts of the present.
Lyndon B. Johnson
A nation that fails to plan intelligently for the development and protection of its precious waters will be condemned to wither because of its shortsightedness. The hard lessons of history are clear, written on the deserted sands and ruins of once proud civilizations.
Lyndon B. Johnson
...where legitimate opportunities are closed, illegitimate opportunities are seized. Whatever opens opportunity and hope will help to prevent crime and foster responsibility.
Lyndon B. Johnson
A man without a vote is man without protection.
Lyndon B. Johnson
'Human history, ' H.G. Wells once wrote, 'becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.' You and I cannot be indifferent to the outcome of that race. We care deeply about the winner. Because we do care so deeply about the winner, that is why we are all in the East Room of the White House today.
Lyndon B. Johnson
