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

Lyndon B. Johnson
I'm the only president you've got.
Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon B. Johnson
The presidency has made every man who occupied it, no matter how small, bigger than he was and no matter how big, not big enough for its demands.
Lyndon B. Johnson
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
I know - from personal experience - that abiding values and abundant visions are learned in the homes of our people.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We must open the doors of opportunity. We must equip our people to walk through those doors.
Lyndon B. Johnson
It now seems to be quite a thing to pull down the mighty from their seats and roll them in the mire. This practice deserves pronounced condemnation. Hero worship is a tremendous force in uplifting and strengthening. Humanity, let us have our heroes. Let us continue to believe that some have been truly great.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The fact that a man is a newspaper reporter is evidence of some flaw of character.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We come to reason, not to dominate. We do not seek to have our way, but to find a common way.
Lyndon B. Johnson
