Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon B. Johnson
Poverty has many roots, but the tap root is ignorance.
Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon B. Johnson
There is but one way for a president to deal with Congress, and that is continuously, incessantly, and without interruption. If it is really going to work, the relationship has got to be almost incestuous.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Success only feeds the appetite of aggression.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Throughout my entire public career I have followed the personal philosophy that I am a free man, an American, a public servant, and a member of my party, in that order always and only.
Lyndon B. Johnson
