Quote

No national sovereignty rules in outer space. Those who venture there go as envoys of the entire human race. Their quest, therefore, must be for all mankind, and what they find should belong to all mankind.

I believe in the American tradition of separation of church and state which is expressed in the First Amendment to the Constitution. By my office - and by personal conviction - I am sworn to uphold that tradition.

If you're not listening, you're not learning.

So far are we generally from thinking what we often say of the shortness of life, that at the time when it is necessarily shortest we form projects which we delay to execute, indulge such expectations as nothing but along train of events can gratify, and suffer those passions to gain upon us which are only excusable in the prime of life.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
When I was young, poverty was so common that we didn't know it had a name.

Boys, it is just like the Alamo. Somebody should have by God helped those Texans. I'm going to Vietnam.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
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
Image
Doing what's right isn't the problem. It is knowing what's right.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
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
Image
Nothing comes free. Nothing. Not even good, especially not good.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
I taught school in the early days of my manhood and I think I know something about mothers. There is a thread of aspiration that runs strong in them. It is the fiber that has formed the most unselfish creatures who inhabit this earth. They want three things only for their children to be fed, to be healthy, and to make the most of themselves.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
All the historians are Harvard people. It just isn't fair. Poor old Hoover from West Branch, Iowa, had no chance with that crowdnor did Andrew Jackson from Tennessee. Nor does Lyndon Johnson from Stonewall, Texas. It just isn't fair.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
Whoever won't fight when the President calls him, deserves to be kicked back in his hole and kept there.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
I know - from personal experience - that abiding values and abundant visions are learned in the homes of our people.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
There are no favorites in my office. I treat them all with the same general inconsideration.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
The great society is a place where men are more concerned with the quality of their goods than with the quantity of their goods.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
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
Image
What we won when all of our people united just must not now be lost in suspicion, distrust, selfishness, and politics among any of our people. Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President.

If there is one word that describes our form of society in America, it may be the word-voluntary.
