More quotes by Lyndon B. Johnson
There is no Constitutional issue here. The command of the Constitution is plain. There is no moral issue.

There is only the struggle for human rights.
Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon B. Johnson
In this age when there can be no losers in peace and no victors in war we must recognize the obligation to match national strength with national restraint.
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
