More quotes by Lyndon B. Johnson
Poverty has many roots, but the tap root is ignorance.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Every man should know that his conversations, his correspondence, and his personal life are private.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Jerry Ford is so dumb he can't walk and chew gum at the same time.... He's a nice fellow, but he spent too much time playing football without a helmet.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The exercise of power in this century has meant for all of us in the United States not arrogance, but agony.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Our purpose in Vietnam is to prevent the success of aggression. It is not conquest, it is not empire, it is not foreign bases, it is not domination. It is, simply put, just to prevent the forceful conquest of South Vietnam by North Vietnam.
Lyndon B. Johnson
It now seems to be quite a thing to pull down the mighty from their seats and roll them in the mire. This practice deserves pronounced condemnation. Hero worship is a tremendous force in uplifting and strengthening. Humanity, let us have our heroes. Let us continue to believe that some have been truly great.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The future holds little hope for any government where the present holds no hope for the people.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Emancipation was a proclamation, but not a fact.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Every citizen will be able, in his productive years when he is earning, to insure himself against the ravages of illness in his old age.
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
We are not about to send American boys 9 or 10 thousand miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I want real loyalty. I want someone who will kiss my ass in Macy's window, and say it smells like roses.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Never miss an opportunity to say a word of congratulation upon anyone's achievement.
Lyndon B. Johnson
There is no issue of States' rights or National rights. There is only the struggle for human rights.
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
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
The Roman Empire controlled the world because it could build roads . . . the British Empire was dominant because it had ships. In the air age we were powerful because we had airplaines. Now the Communists have established a foothold in outer space.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Jerry Ford is so dumb he can't fart and chew gum at the same time.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Peace does not come just because we wish for it. Peace must be fought for. It must be built stone by stone.
Lyndon B. Johnson
