Lyndon B. Johnson
I feel like I just grabbed a big juicy worm with a right sharp hook in the middle of it.
Lyndon B. Johnson
It's the price of leadership to do the thing you believe has to be done at the time it must be done.
Lyndon B. Johnson

I'm willin' for any solution - religious, political. I'm not going to keep offerin' to negotiate so much because they turn us down each time. It indicates a weakness on our part.
Lyndon B. Johnson
It's too bad, but the way American people are, now that they have all this capability, instead of taking advantage of it, they'll probably just piss it all away.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The Roman Empire controlled the world because it could build roads . . . the British Empire was dominant because it had ships. In the air age we were powerful because we had airplaines. Now the Communists have established a foothold in outer space.
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
When the burdens of the presidency seem unusually heavy, I always remind myself it could be worse. I could be a mayor.
Lyndon B. Johnson
A rioter with a Molotov cocktail in his hands is not fighting for civil rights any more than a Klansman with a sheet on his back and mask on his face. They are both more or less what the law declares them: lawbreakers, destroyers of constitutional rights and liberties and ultimately destroyers of a free America.
Lyndon B. Johnson
He's a nice guy, but he played too much football with his helmet off.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I believe the destiny of your generation - and your nation - is a rendezvous with excellence.
Lyndon B. Johnson
When I was a boy we didn't wake up with Vietnam and have Cyprus for lunch and the Congo for dinner.
Lyndon B. Johnson
There is no issue of States' rights or National rights. There is only the struggle for human rights.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I am concerned about the whole man. I am concerned about what the people, using their government as an instrument and a tool, can do toward building the whole man, which will mean a better society and a better world.
Lyndon B. Johnson
If one little old general in shirt sleeves can take Saigon, think about 200 million Chinese comin' down those trails. No sir, I don't want to fight them.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Free speech, free press, free religion, the right of free assembly, yes, the right of petition... well, they are still radical ideas.
Lyndon B. Johnson
