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
In my state, on the basis of the separate but equal doctrine, we have made enormous strides over the years in the education of both races.

Lyndon B. Johnson
All of us realize that war requires action. What is sometimes harder for us to realize is that peace and neutrality also require action.
Lyndon B. Johnson
There is but one way for a president to deal with Congress, and that is continuously, incessantly, and without interruption. If it is really going to work, the relationship has got to be almost incestuous.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The last thing I wanted to do was to be a wartime President.
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
Just like the Alamo, somebody damn well needed to go to their aid. Well, by God, I'm going to Viet Nam's aid!
Lyndon B. Johnson
I am making a collection of the things my opponents have found me to be and, when this election is over, I am going to open a museum and put them on display.
Lyndon B. Johnson
You know, doing what is right is easy. The problem is knowing what is right.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The American West is just arriving at the threshold of its greatness and growth. Where the West of yesterday is glamorized in our fiction, the future of the American West now is both fabulous and factual.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Democracy is a constant tension between truth and half-truth and, in the arsenal of truth, there is no greater weapon than fact.
Lyndon B. Johnson
