Lyndon B. Johnson
The fact that a man is a newspaper reporter is evidence of some flaw of character.
Lyndon B. Johnson
If we fail now, then we will have forgotten in abundance what we learned in hardship: that democracy rests on faith freedom asks more than it gives and the judgment of God is harshest on those who are most favored.
Lyndon B. Johnson
