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
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
We come to reason, not to dominate. We do not seek to have our way, but to find a common way.
Lyndon B. Johnson

It is the fiber that has formed the most unselfish creatures who inhabit this earth. They want three things only for their children to be fed, to be healthy, and to make the most of themselves.
Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon B. Johnson
He's a nice guy, but he played too much football with his helmet off.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Organized crime constitutes nothing less than a guerilla war against society.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Every President wants to do right.
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
You know, doing what is right is easy. The problem is knowing what is right.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Every man has a right to a Saturday night bath.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Hug your friends tight, but your enemies tighter ? hug ?em so tight they can?t wiggle.
Lyndon B. Johnson
If one little old general in shirt sleeves can take Saigon, think about 200 million Chinese comin' down those trails. No sir, I don't want to fight them.
Lyndon B. Johnson
