More quotes by Lyndon B. Johnson
For the college years we will provide scholarships to high school students of the greatest promise and greatest need and guarantee low-interest loans to students continuing their college studies.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Control of space means control of the world.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Today - wealthier, more powerful and more able than ever before in our history - our Nation can declare another essential freedom.
Lyndon B. Johnson
For the first time in our history it is possible to conquer poverty.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I'll tell you what's at the bottom of it. If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Once we considered education a public expense we know now that it is a public investment.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We must open the doors of opportunity. We must equip our people to walk through those doors.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We come to reason, not to dominate. We do not seek to have our way, but to find a common way.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The Roman Empire controlled the world because it could build roads . . . the British Empire was dominant because it had ships. In the air age we were powerful because we had airplaines. Now the Communists have established a foothold in outer space.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Every man has a right to a Saturday night bath.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Doing what's right isn't the problem. It is knowing what's right.
Lyndon B. Johnson
If we fail now, then we will have forgotten in abundance what we learned in hardship: that democracy rests on faith freedom asks more than it gives and the judgment of God is harshest on those who are most favored.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The land flourished because it was fed from so many sources--because it was nourished by so many cultures and traditions and peoples.
Lyndon B. Johnson
For this is what America is all about. It is the uncrossed desert and the unclimbed ridge. It is the star that is not reached and the harvest that is sleeping in the unplowed ground.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The great society is a place where men are more concerned with the quality of their goods than with the quantity of their goods.
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
No member of our generation who wasn't a Communist or a dropout in the thirties is worth a damn.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Of all the problems of conservation, none is more urgent that the polluted air which endangers the American people. We have been fortunate so far. But we have seen that when winds fail to blow, the concentrations of poisonous clouds over our cities can become perilous.
Lyndon B. Johnson
At times history and fate meet at a single time in a single place to shape a turning point in man's unending search for freedom.
Lyndon B. Johnson
When the burdens of the presidency seem unusually heavy, I always remind myself it could be worse. I could be a mayor.
Lyndon B. Johnson
