Lyndon B. Johnson
The fifth freedom is freedom from ignorance.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The moon and other celestial bodies should be free for exploration and use by all countries. No country should be permitted to advance a claim of sovereignty.

Lyndon B. Johnson
Jerry Ford is so dumb he can't fart and chew gum at the same time.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We must open the doors of opportunity. We must equip our people to walk through those doors.
Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon B. Johnson
A man without a vote is man without protection.
Lyndon B. Johnson
