The American city should be a collection of communities where every member has a right to belong. It should be a place where every man feels safe on his streets and in the house of his friends.

More quotes by 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
Our purpose in Vietnam is to prevent the success of aggression. It is not conquest, it is not empire, it is not foreign bases, it is not domination. It is, simply put, just to prevent the forceful conquest of South Vietnam by North Vietnam.
Lyndon B. Johnson
He's a nice guy, but he played too much football with his helmet off.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time.
Lyndon B. Johnson
At times history and fate meet at a single time in a single place to shape a turning point in man's unending search for freedom.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The fifth freedom is freedom from ignorance.
Lyndon B. Johnson
When I was young, poverty was so common that we didn't know it had a name.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Heck by the time a man scratches his behind, clears his throat, and tells me how smart he is, we've already wasted fifteen minutes.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Never make a speech at a country dance or a football game.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The test before us as a people is not whether our commitments match our will and our courage but whether we have the will and courage to match our commitments.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Organized crime constitutes nothing less than a guerilla war against society.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Every man should know that his conversations, his correspondence, and his personal life are private.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The poor suffer twice at the rioter's hands. First, his destructive fury scars their neighborhood second, the atmosphere of accommodation and consent is changed to one of hostility and resentment.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We still seek no wider war.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I hear the headlines on the radio, see them on TV and read them in the paper. When I hear from the men out there, I sometimes don't believe they are talking about the same situation.
Lyndon B. Johnson
America has not always been kind to its artists and scholars. Somehow the scientists always seem to get the penthouse while the arts and humanities get the basement.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Doing the right thing is not the problem. Knowing what the right thing is, that's the challenge.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Americans have always built for the future. That is why we established land grant colleges and passed the Homestead Act to open our Western lands more than 100 years ago.
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
The future holds little hope for any government where the present holds no hope for the people.
Lyndon B. Johnson
