Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon B. Johnson
Democracy is a constant tension between truth and half-truth and, in the arsenal of truth, there is no greater weapon than fact.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The fifth freedom is freedom from ignorance.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The test before us as a people is not whether our commitments match our will and our courage but whether we have the will and courage to match our commitments.
Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon B. Johnson
I'm the only president you've got.
Lyndon B. Johnson
