Lyndon B. Johnson
Every citizen will be able, in his productive years when he is earning, to insure himself against the ravages of illness in his old age.
Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon B. Johnson
Nothing comes free. Nothing. Not even good, especially not good.
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

Lyndon B. Johnson
If the American people don't love me, their descendants will.
Lyndon B. Johnson
In a thousand unseen ways we have drawn shape and strength from the land.
Lyndon B. Johnson
It (the heart) is supposed in popular language, to be the seat sometimes, of courage, sometimes of affection, sometimes of honesty, or baseness.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The Secretary of Labor is in charge of finding you a job, the Secretary of the Treasury is in charge of taking half the money you make away from you, and the Attorney General is in charge of suing you for the other half.
Lyndon B. Johnson
