More quotes by Lyndon B. Johnson

Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
When things haven't gone well for you, call in a secretary or a staff man and chew him out. You will sleep better and they will appreciate the attention.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
In a thousand unseen ways we have drawn shape and strength from the land.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
If the purpose of lamentation be to excite pity, it is surely superfluous for age and weakness to tell their plaintive stories for pity presupposes sympathy, and a little attention will show them, that those who do not feel pain seldom think that it is felt.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
There is but one way for a president to deal with Congress, and that is continuously, incessantly, and without interruption. If it is really going to work, the relationship has got to be almost incestuous.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
To hunger for use and to go unused is the worst hunger of all.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
He's a nice guy, but he played too much football with his helmet off.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
Every man should know that his conversations, his correspondence, and his personal life are private.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
We are not about to send American boys 9 or 10 thousand miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
In addition to our existing programs, I will recommend a new program for schools and students with a first-year authorization of $1,500 million.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
Education will not cure all the problems of society, but without it no cure for any problem is possible.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
The test before us as a people is not whether our commitments match our will and our courage but whether we have the will and courage to match our commitments.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
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
Image
We come to reason, not to dominate. We do not seek to have our way, but to find a common way.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
The purposeful many need not and will not bow to the willful few.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
The family is the corner stone of our society. More than any other force it shapes the attitude, the hopes, the ambitions, and the values of the child. And 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
Image
I believe we can continue the Great Society while we fight in Vietnam.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
Every night before I turn out the lights to sleep, I ask myself this question: Have I done everything that I can.... Have I done enough?
