If there is one word that describes our form of society in America, it may be the word-voluntary.
Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon B. Johnson
I taught school in the early days of my manhood and I think I know something about mothers. There is a thread of aspiration that runs strong in them. It is the fiber that has formed the most unselfish creatures who inhabit this earth. They want three things only for their children to be fed, to be healthy, and to make the most of themselves.
Lyndon B. Johnson
This nation, this generation, in this hour has man's first chance to build a Great Society, a place where the meaning of man's life matches the marvels of man's labor.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Poverty has many roots, but the tap root is ignorance.
Lyndon B. Johnson
All the historians are Harvard people. It just isn't fair. Poor old Hoover from West Branch, Iowa, had no chance with that crowdnor did Andrew Jackson from Tennessee. Nor does Lyndon Johnson from Stonewall, Texas. It just isn't fair.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We did not choose to be the guardians of the gate, but there is no one else.
Lyndon B. Johnson
A compassionate government keeps faith with the trust of the people and cherishes the future of their children. Through compassion for the plight of one individual, government fulfills its purpose as the servant of all the people.
Lyndon B. Johnson
While you're saving your face, you're losing your ass.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I believe that the country weekly acts as a form of social cement in holding the community together.
