More quotes by Lyndon B. Johnson
Education will not cure all the problems of society, but without it no cure for any problem is possible.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I once told Nixon that the Presidency is like being a jackass caught in a hail storm. You've got to just stand there and take it.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Light at the end of the tunnel? We don't even have a tunnel we don't even know where the tunnel is.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The purposeful many need not and will not bow to the willful few.
Lyndon B. Johnson

It is important that the United States remain a two-party system. I'm a fellow who likes small parties and the Republican Party can't be too small to suit me.
Lyndon B. Johnson
There is no Constitutional issue here. The command of the Constitution is plain. There is no moral issue. It is wrong - deadly wrong - to deny any of your fellow Americans the right to vote in this country. There is no issue of States' rights or National rights. There is only the struggle for human rights.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Doing the right thing is not the problem. Knowing what the right thing is, that's the challenge.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The American West is just arriving at the threshold of its greatness and growth. Where the West of yesterday is glamorized in our fiction, the future of the American West now is both fabulous and factual.
Lyndon B. Johnson
A nation that fails to plan intelligently for the development and protection of its precious waters will be condemned to wither because of its shortsightedness. The hard lessons of history are clear, written on the deserted sands and ruins of once proud civilizations.
Lyndon B. Johnson
There are no favorites in my office. I treat them all with the same general inconsideration.
Lyndon B. Johnson
When the family collapses, it is the children that are usually damaged. When it happens on a massive scale, the community itself is crippled.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Today - wealthier, more powerful and more able than ever before in our history - our Nation can declare another essential freedom.
Lyndon B. Johnson
America has not always been kind to its artists and scholars. Somehow the scientists always seem to get the penthouse while the arts and humanities get the basement.
Lyndon B. Johnson
There are two kinds of speeches: the Mother Hubbard speech, which, like the garment, covers everything but touches nothing, and the French bathing suit speech, which covers only the essential points.
Lyndon B. Johnson
While you're saving your face, you're losing your ass.
Lyndon B. Johnson
In our home there was always prayer - aloud, proud and unapologetic.
Lyndon B. Johnson
But, most of all, the Great Society is not a safe harbor, a resting place, a final objective, a finished work. It is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor.
Lyndon B. Johnson
If we quit Vietnam, tomorrow we'll be fighting in Hawaii, and next week we'll have to fight in San Francisco.
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
