Lyndon B. Johnson
Men who have worked together to reach the stars are not likely to descend together into the depths of war and desolation.
Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon B. Johnson
Free speech, free press, free religion, the right of free assembly, yes, the right of petition... well, they are still radical ideas.
Lyndon B. Johnson
It's too bad, but the way American people are, now that they have all this capability, instead of taking advantage of it, they'll probably just piss it all away.
Lyndon B. Johnson
It now seems to be quite a thing to pull down the mighty from their seats and roll them in the mire. This practice deserves pronounced condemnation. Hero worship is a tremendous force in uplifting and strengthening. Humanity, let us have our heroes. Let us continue to believe that some have been truly great.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We must open the doors of opportunity.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Education will not cure all the problems of society, but without it no cure for any problem is possible.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Whoever won't fight when the President calls him, deserves to be kicked back in his hole and kept there.
Lyndon B. Johnson
For the first time in our history it is possible to conquer poverty.
Lyndon B. Johnson
If one little old general in shirt sleeves can take Saigon, think about 200 million Chinese comin' down those trails. No sir, I don't want to fight them.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The fact that a man is a newspaper reporter is evidence of some flaw of character.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Our purpose in Vietnam is to prevent the success of aggression. It is not conquest, it is not empire, it is not foreign bases, it is not domination. It is, simply put, just to prevent the forceful conquest of South Vietnam by North Vietnam.
Lyndon B. Johnson
