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

Lyndon B. Johnson
I'm willin' for any solution - religious, political. I'm not going to keep offerin' to negotiate so much because they turn us down each time. It indicates a weakness on our part.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Peace does not come just because we wish for it. Peace must be fought for. It must be built stone by stone.
Lyndon B. Johnson
