Lyndon B. Johnson
If you're not listening, you're not learning.
Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon B. Johnson
There's something special for everyone to do. Remember, no experience is a bad experience unless you gain nothing from it.
Lyndon B. Johnson
If anybody has any idea of hoarding our silver coins, let me say this. Treasury has a lot of silver on hand, and it can be, and it will be used to keep the price of silver in line with its value in our present silver coin. There will be no profit in holding them out of circulation for the value of their silver content.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The fifth freedom is freedom from ignorance.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I believe the destiny of your generation - and your nation - is a rendezvous with excellence.

Lyndon B. Johnson
