More quotes by Lyndon B. Johnson
Greater love hath no man than to attend the Episcopal Church with his wife.
Lyndon B. Johnson
But, most of all, the Great Society is not a safe harbor, a resting place, a final objective, a finished work. It is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The thing I would like to do most is to find somehow to bring peace to the world. It has eluded me.
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

The exercise of power in this century has meant for all of us in the United States not arrogance, but agony.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The job, of course, will never be finished. For a nation, as for an individual, education is a perpetually unfinished journey, a continuing process of discovery.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We did not choose to be the guardians of the gate, but there is no one else.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Emancipation was a proclamation, but not a fact.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Nothing so challenges the American spirit as tackling the biggest job on earth....Americans are stimulated by the big job the Panama Canal, Boulder Dam, Grand Coulee, Lower Colorado River developments, the tallest building in the world, the mightiest battleship.
Lyndon B. Johnson
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
True poverty does not come from God.
Lyndon B. Johnson
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?
Lyndon B. Johnson
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
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
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
