More quotes by Lyndon B. Johnson
Doing the right thing is not the problem. Knowing what the right thing is, that's the challenge.
Lyndon B. Johnson
It will help at every state along the road to learning. For the pre-school years we will help needy children become aware of the excitement of learning.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The hungry world cannot be fed until and unless the growth of its resources and the growth of its population come into balance. Each man and woman-and each nation-must make decisions of conscience and policy in the face of this great problem.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Of those to whom much is given, much is asked.
Lyndon B. Johnson
In our home there was always prayer - aloud, proud and unapologetic.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Every President wants to do right.
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
Of all the problems of conservation, none is more urgent that the polluted air which endangers the American people. We have been fortunate so far. But we have seen that when winds fail to blow, the concentrations of poisonous clouds over our cities can become perilous.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The presidency has made every man who occupied it, no matter how small, bigger than he was and no matter how big, not big enough for its demands.
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
We cannot have government for all the people until we first make certain it is government of and by all the people.
Lyndon B. Johnson
It is happily and kindly provided that in every life there are certain pauses, and interruptions, which force consideration upon the careless, and seriousness upon the light, points of time where one course of action ends and another begins.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Evil acts of the past are never rectified by evil acts of the present.
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
In the years since then, those four freedoms - freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear - have stood as a summary of our aspirations for the American Republic and for the world.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Emancipation was a proclamation, but not a fact.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I'll tell you what's at the bottom of it. If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.
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. Personally, I think it would have been sounder judgment to allow that progress to continue through the process of natural evolution. However, there is no point crying about spilt milk.
Lyndon B. Johnson
There are no favorites in my office. I treat them all with the same general inconsideration.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Today our problem is not making miracles, but managing them.
Lyndon B. Johnson
