Lyndon B. Johnson
This nation, this generation, in this hour has man's first chance to build a Great Society, a place where the meaning of man's life matches the marvels of man's labor.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I cannot say and no man could say that no more will be asked of us.
Lyndon B. Johnson
There's something special for everyone to do. Remember, no experience is a bad experience unless you gain nothing from it.

I'm gonna hunker down like a jack rabbit in a dust storm
Lyndon B. Johnson
Our understanding of how to live with one another is still far behind our knowledge of how to destroy one another.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Being president is like being a jackass in a hailstorm. There's nothing to do but to stand there and take it.
Lyndon B. Johnson
In modern warfare there are no victors there are only survivors.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Doing the right thing is not the problem. Knowing what the right thing is, that's the challenge.
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. They are both more or less what the law declares them: lawbreakers, destroyers of constitutional rights and liberties and ultimately destroyers of a free America.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Lincoln was right about not fooling all the people all the time. But Republicans haven't given up trying.
Lyndon B. Johnson
You know, doing what is right is easy. The problem is knowing what is right.
Lyndon B. Johnson
As the House is designed to provide a reflection of the mood of the moment, the Senate is meant to reflect the continuity of the past--to preserve the delicate balance of justice between the majority's whims and the minority's rights.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The American Indian, once proud and free, is torn now between White and tribal values between the politics and language of the White man and his own historic culture. His problems, sharpened by years of defeat and exploitation, neglect and inadequate effort, will take many years to overcome.
Lyndon B. Johnson
