More quotes by Lyndon B. Johnson
Doing what's right isn't the problem. It is knowing what's right.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Every night before I turn out the lights to sleep, I ask myself this question: Have I done everything that I can.... Have I done enough?
Lyndon B. Johnson
The hungry world cannot be fed until and unless the growth of its resources and the growth of its population come into balance. Each man and woman-and each nation-must make decisions of conscience and policy in the face of this great problem.
Lyndon B. Johnson
If the American people don't love me, their descendants will.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I am concerned about the whole man. I am concerned about what the people, using their government as an instrument and a tool, can do toward building the whole man, which will mean a better society and a better world.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The thing I would like to do most is to find somehow to bring peace to the world. It has eluded me.
Lyndon B. Johnson
All of us realize that war requires action. What is sometimes harder for us to realize is that peace and neutrality also require action.
Lyndon B. Johnson
If we are to live together in peace, we must come to know each other better.
Lyndon B. Johnson
A nation that fails to plan intelligently for the development and protection of its precious waters will be condemned to wither because of its shortsightedness. The hard lessons of history are clear, written on the deserted sands and ruins of once proud civilizations.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I'm the only president you've got.
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
To hunger for use and to go unused is the worst hunger of all.
Lyndon B. Johnson
He that in the latter part of his life too strictly inquires what he has done, can very seldom receive from his own heart such an account as will give him satisfaction.
Lyndon B. Johnson
If you have a mother-in-law with only one eye and she has it in the center of her forehead, don't keep her in the living room.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We still seek no wider war.
Lyndon B. Johnson
A man without a vote is man without protection.
Lyndon B. Johnson
This is not Johnson's war. This is America's war. If I drop dead tomorrow, this war will still be with you.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The moon and other celestial bodies should be free for exploration and use by all countries. No country should be permitted to advance a claim of sovereignty.
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
You have your own difficulties. We watch, with friendly confidence in your capacity to merge differences in the grand dream of Canadian design.
Lyndon B. Johnson
