More quotes by Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon B. Johnson
There are no favorites in my office. I treat them all with the same general inconsideration.
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
I hear the headlines on the radio, see them on TV and read them in the paper. When I hear from the men out there, I sometimes don't believe they are talking about the same situation.
Lyndon B. Johnson
If there is one word that describes our form of society in America, it may be the word-voluntary.

Lyndon B. Johnson
A rioter with a Molotov cocktail in his hands is not fighting for civil rights any more than a Klansman with a sheet on his back and mask on his face.

Lyndon B. Johnson
If we quit Vietnam, tomorrow we'll be fighting in Hawaii, and next week we'll have to fight in San Francisco.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Jerry Ford is so dumb he can't fart and chew gum at the same time.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The fact that a man is a newspaper reporter is evidence of some flaw of character.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Success only feeds the appetite of aggression.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Every night before I turn out the lights to sleep, I ask myself this question: Have I done everything that I can.... Have I done enough?
Lyndon B. Johnson
Free speech, free press, free religion, the right of free assembly, yes, the right of petition... well, they are still radical ideas.
Lyndon B. Johnson
So, I would appeal to my fellow Americans by saying, the only real road to progress for free people is through the process of law and that is the road that America will travel.
Lyndon B. Johnson
When things haven't gone well for you, call in a secretary or a staff man and chew him out. You will sleep better and they will appreciate the attention.
Lyndon B. Johnson
But if future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than with sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as God really made it, not just as it looked when we got through with it.
Lyndon B. Johnson
'If you let a bully come in and chase you out of your front yard, he'll be on your porch and the next day he'll rape your wife in your own bed.
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
To conclude that women are unfitted to the task of our historic society seems to me the equivalent of closing male eyes to female facts.
Lyndon B. Johnson
