Lyndon B. Johnson
A President's hardest task is not to do what is right, but to know what is right.
Lyndon B. Johnson

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

Lyndon B. Johnson
We preach the virtues of democracy abroad. We must practice its duties here at home. Voting is the first duty of democracy.
Lyndon B. Johnson
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
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
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
Our partnership has been built on four pillars The first pillar is peace. The second pillar is freedom. The third pillar is respect. The fourth pillar is cooperation.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Our understanding of how to live with one another is still far behind our knowledge of how to destroy one another.
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 land flourished because it was fed from so many sources--because it was nourished by so many cultures and traditions and peoples.
Lyndon B. Johnson
If we fail now, then we will have forgotten in abundance what we learned in hardship: that democracy rests on faith freedom asks more than it gives and the judgment of God is harshest on those who are most favored.
Lyndon B. Johnson
