More quotes by Lyndon B. Johnson
Men who have worked together to reach the stars are not likely to descend together into the depths of war and desolation.
Lyndon B. Johnson
It is important that the United States remain a two-party system. I'm a fellow who likes small parties and the Republican Party can't be too small to suit me.
Lyndon B. Johnson
And Americans have always stood ready to pay the cost in energy and treasure which are needed to make those goals a reality.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The fifth freedom is freedom from ignorance.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We must open the doors of opportunity. We must equip our people to walk through those doors.

Of all the problems of conservation, none is more urgent that the polluted air which endangers the American people. We have been fortunate so far. But we have seen that when winds fail to blow, the concentrations of poisonous clouds over our cities can become perilous.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Nothing comes free. Nothing. Not even good, especially not good.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Boys, it is just like the Alamo. Somebody should have by God helped those Texans. I'm going to Vietnam.
Lyndon B. Johnson
For the individual, education is the path to achievement and fulfillment for the nation, it is a path to a society that is not only free but civilized and for the world, it is the path to peace - for it is education that places reason over force.
Lyndon B. Johnson
If you're I politics and you can't tell when you walk into a room who's for you and who's against you, then you're in the wrong line of work.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Doing what's right isn't the problem. It is knowing what's right.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Today our problem is not making miracles, but managing them.
Lyndon B. Johnson
A compassionate government keeps faith with the trust of the people and cherishes the future of their children. Through compassion for the plight of one individual, government fulfills its purpose as the servant of all the people.
Lyndon B. Johnson
It is happily and kindly provided that in every life there are certain pauses, and interruptions, which force consideration upon the careless, and seriousness upon the light, points of time where one course of action ends and another begins.
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
'All men are created equal', 'government by consent of the governed', 'give me liberty or give me death'. Well, those are not just clever words, or those are not just empty theories.
Lyndon B. Johnson
When I was a boy we didn't wake up with Vietnam and have Cyprus for lunch and the Congo for dinner.
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
If there is one word that describes our form of society in America, it may be the word-voluntary.
Lyndon B. Johnson
