More quotes by Lyndon B. Johnson
So, I would appeal to my fellow Americans by saying, the only real road to progress for free people is through the process of law and that is the road that America will travel.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We decided that our first job was to help the schools serving the children from the very lowest income groups. Those families constitute the number one burden, the number one burden in this Nation on the school systems.
Lyndon B. Johnson
It's the price of leadership to do the thing you believe has to be done at the time it must be done.

Lyndon B. Johnson
The fifth freedom is freedom from ignorance.
Lyndon B. Johnson
In this age when there can be no losers in peace and no victors in war we must recognize the obligation to match national strength with national restraint.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I may not worry as much as Prime Minister Eshkol does about Israel, but I worry as deeply.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Americans have always built for the future. That is why we established land grant colleges and passed the Homestead Act to open our Western lands more than 100 years ago.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The best fertilizer for a piece of land is the footprints of its owner.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Evil acts of the past are never rectified by evil acts of the present.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Every man has a right to a Saturday night bath.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We must open the doors of opportunity.
Lyndon B. Johnson
There is no Constitutional issue here. The command of the Constitution is plain. There is no moral issue. It is wrong - deadly wrong - to deny any of your fellow Americans the right to vote in this country. There is no issue of States' rights or National rights. There is only the struggle for human rights.
Lyndon B. Johnson
