More quotes by Lyndon B. Johnson
Organized crime constitutes nothing less than a guerilla war against society.
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
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
I am concerned about the whole man. I am concerned about what the people, using their government as an instrument and a tool, can do toward building the whole man, which will mean a better society and a better world.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Greater love hath no man than to attend the Episcopal Church with his wife.
Lyndon B. Johnson

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
I'm gonna hunker down like a jack rabbit in a dust storm
Lyndon B. Johnson
I'm the only president you've got.
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
Until justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men's skins, emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The Organization of American States couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Our partnership has been built on four pillars The first pillar is peace. The second pillar is freedom. The third pillar is respect. The fourth pillar is cooperation.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Whoever won't fight when the President calls him, deserves to be kicked back in his hole and kept there.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I am a compromiser and maneuverer. I try to get something. That's the way our system works.
Lyndon B. Johnson
