Lyndon B. Johnson
If we must disagree, let's disagree without being disagreeable.
Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon B. Johnson
One lesson you better learn if you want to be in politics is that you never go out on a golf course and beat the President.

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
