Lyndon B. Johnson
Until justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men's skins, emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The last thing I wanted to do was to be a wartime President.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Emancipation was a proclamation, but not a fact.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The best fertilizer for a piece of land is the footprints of its owner.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We preach the virtues of democracy abroad. We must practice its duties here at home. Voting is the first duty of democracy.
Lyndon B. Johnson
If you have a mother-in-law with only one eye and she has it in the center of her forehead, don't keep her in the living room.
Lyndon B. Johnson
It may be, it just may be, that life as we know it with its humanity is more unique than many have thought.
