Lyndon B. Johnson
As man draws nearer to the stars, why should he not also draw nearer to his neighbor?
Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon B. Johnson
He's a nice guy, but he played too much football with his helmet off.
Lyndon B. Johnson
It's too bad, but the way American people are, now that they have all this capability, instead of taking advantage of it, they'll probably just piss it all away.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We did not choose to be the guardians of the gate, but there is no one else.

A man without a vote is man without protection.
Lyndon B. Johnson
