Lyndon B. Johnson
I taught school in the early days of my manhood and I think I know something about mothers. There is a thread of aspiration that runs strong in them. It is the fiber that has formed the most unselfish creatures who inhabit this earth. They want three things only for their children to be fed, to be healthy, and to make the most of themselves.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Today our problem is not making miracles, but managing them.
Lyndon B. Johnson
In a thousand unseen ways we have drawn shape and strength from the land.
