Lyndon B. Johnson
I want real loyalty. I want someone who will kiss my ass in Macy's window, and say it smells like roses.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We are not about to send American boys 9 or 10 thousand miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves.
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
This nation, this generation, in this hour has man's first chance to build a Great Society, a place where the meaning of man's life matches the marvels of man's labor.
