More quotes by Lyndon B. Johnson
For it was only after I could become President of this country that I could really see in all its hopeful and troubling implications just how much the hopes of our citizens and the security of our Nation and the real strength of our democracy depended upon the learning and the understanding of our people.
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
Nothing comes free. Nothing. Not even good, especially not good.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I may not worry as much as Prime Minister Eshkol does about Israel, but I worry as deeply.
Lyndon B. Johnson
War is always the same. It is young men dying in the fullness of their promise. It is trying to kill a man that you do not even know well enough to hate. Therefore, to know war is to know that there is still madness in the world.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Education is the key to opportunity in our society, and the equality of educational opportunity must be the birthright of every citizen.
Lyndon B. Johnson
If you're not listening, you're not learning.
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
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
We must open the doors of opportunity.
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
For the first time in our history it is possible to conquer poverty.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The classroom - not the trench - is the frontier of freedom now and forevermore.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Never miss an opportunity to say a word of congratulation upon anyone's achievement.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Today - wealthier, more powerful and more able than ever before in our history - our Nation can declare another essential freedom.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Today our problem is not making miracles, but managing them.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Every President wants to do right.
Lyndon B. Johnson
'Human history, ' H.G. Wells once wrote, 'becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.' You and I cannot be indifferent to the outcome of that race. We care deeply about the winner. Because we do care so deeply about the winner, that is why we are all in the East Room of the White House today.
Lyndon B. Johnson
As man draws nearer to the stars, why should he not also draw nearer to his neighbor?
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
