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.

More quotes by 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
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
One lesson you better learn if you want to be in politics is that you never go out on a golf course and beat the President.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I cannot say and no man could say that no more will be asked of us.
Lyndon B. Johnson
In my state, on the basis of the separate but equal doctrine, we have made enormous strides over the years in the education of both races. Personally, I think it would have been sounder judgment to allow that progress to continue through the process of natural evolution. However, there is no point crying about spilt milk.
Lyndon B. Johnson
It may be, it just may be, that life as we know it with its humanity is more unique than many have thought.
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
While you're saving your face, you're losing your ass.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Jack was out kissing babies while I was out passing bills. Someone had to tend the store.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The moon and other celestial bodies should be free for exploration and use by all countries. No country should be permitted to advance a claim of sovereignty.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Our society is illuminated by the spiritual insights of the Hebrew prophets. America and Israel have a common love of human freedom, and they have a common faith in a democratic way of life.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We still seek no wider war.
Lyndon B. Johnson
For the college years we will provide scholarships to high school students of the greatest promise and greatest need and guarantee low-interest loans to students continuing their college studies.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.
Lyndon B. Johnson
In our home there was always prayer - aloud, proud and unapologetic.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Every man should know that his conversations, his correspondence, and his personal life are private.
Lyndon B. Johnson
A President's hardest task is not to do what is right, but to know what is right.
Lyndon B. Johnson
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
I believe that the country weekly acts as a form of social cement in holding the community together.
Lyndon B. Johnson
In a thousand unseen ways we have drawn shape and strength from the land.
Lyndon B. Johnson
