More quotes by Lyndon B. Johnson
We will not have served the water needs of Americans if we meet only the requirements of today's population. A prudent nation must look ahead and plan for tomorrow.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The presidency has made every man who occupied it, no matter how small, bigger than he was and no matter how big, not big enough for its demands.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The best way to begin disarming is to begin-and the United States is ready to conclude firm agreements in these areas and to consider any other reasonable proposal.
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
Being president is like being a jackass in a hailstorm. There's nothing to do but to stand there and take it.
Lyndon B. Johnson
If the purpose of lamentation be to excite pity, it is surely superfluous for age and weakness to tell their plaintive stories for pity presupposes sympathy, and a little attention will show them, that those who do not feel pain seldom think that it is felt.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Jack was out kissing babies while I was out passing bills. Someone had to tend the store.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Every man has a right to a Saturday night bath.
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
Heck by the time a man scratches his behind, clears his throat, and tells me how smart he is, we've already wasted fifteen minutes.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Throughout my entire public career I have followed the personal philosophy that I am a free man, an American, a public servant, and a member of my party, in that order always and only.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Lincoln was right about not fooling all the people all the time. But Republicans haven't given up trying.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Doing what's right isn't the problem. It is knowing what's right.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Control of space means control of the world.
Lyndon B. Johnson
If we are to live together in peace, we must come to know each other better.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Greater love hath no man than to attend the Episcopal Church with his wife.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Education will not cure all the problems of society, but without it no cure for any problem is possible.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Men who have worked together to reach the stars are not likely to descend together into the depths of war and desolation.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Today our problem is not making miracles, but managing them.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We decided that our first job was to help the schools serving the children from the very lowest income groups. Those families constitute the number one burden, the number one burden in this Nation on the school systems.
Lyndon B. Johnson
