More quotes by Lyndon B. Johnson
Evil acts of the past are never rectified by evil acts of the present.
Lyndon B. Johnson
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
If there is one word that describes our form of society in America, it may be the word-voluntary.
Lyndon B. Johnson
If we are to live together in peace, we must come to know each other better.
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
I cannot say and no man could say that no more will be asked of us.
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
The American Indian, once proud and free, is torn now between White and tribal values between the politics and language of the White man and his own historic culture. His problems, sharpened by years of defeat and exploitation, neglect and inadequate effort, will take many years to overcome.
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
We cannot have government for all the people until we first make certain it is government of and by all the people.
Lyndon B. Johnson
In the years since then, those four freedoms - freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear - have stood as a summary of our aspirations for the American Republic and for the world.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The presidency has made every man who occupied it, no matter how small, bigger than he was and no matter how big, not big enough for its demands.
Lyndon B. Johnson
And Americans have always stood ready to pay the cost in energy and treasure which are needed to make those goals a reality.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Every citizen will be able, in his productive years when he is earning, to insure himself against the ravages of illness in his old age.
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
Lincoln was right about not fooling all the people all the time. But Republicans haven't given up trying.
Lyndon B. Johnson
All of us realize that war requires action. What is sometimes harder for us to realize is that peace and neutrality also require action.
Lyndon B. Johnson
For the individual, education is the path to achievement and fulfillment for the nation, it is a path to a society that is not only free but civilized and for the world, it is the path to peace - for it is education that places reason over force.
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
As the House is designed to provide a reflection of the mood of the moment, the Senate is meant to reflect the continuity of the past--to preserve the delicate balance of justice between the majority's whims and the minority's rights.
Lyndon B. Johnson
