More quotes by Lyndon B. Johnson
I am a freeman, an American, a United States Senator, and a Democrat, in that order.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The land flourished because it was fed from so many sources--because it was nourished by so many cultures and traditions and peoples.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.
Lyndon B. Johnson
When the family collapses, it is the children that are usually damaged. When it happens on a massive scale, the community itself is crippled.
Lyndon B. Johnson
In 1790, the nation which had fought a revolution against taxation without representation discovered that some of its citizens weren't much happier about taxation with representation.

There is no Constitutional issue here. The command of the Constitution is plain. There is no moral issue. It is wrong - deadly wrong - to deny any of your fellow Americans the right to vote in this country. There is no issue of States' rights or National rights. There is only the struggle for human rights.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Just like the Alamo, somebody damn well needed to go to their aid. Well, by God, I'm going to Viet Nam's aid!
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
Peace does not come just because we wish for it. Peace must be fought for. It must be built stone by stone.
Lyndon B. Johnson
For the first time in our history it is possible to conquer poverty.
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
'Human history, ' H.G. Wells once wrote, 'becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.' You and I cannot be indifferent to the outcome of that race. We care deeply about the winner. Because we do care so deeply about the winner, that is why we are all in the East Room of the White House today.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We must open the doors of opportunity. We must equip our people to walk through those doors.
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
In modern warfare there are no victors there are only survivors.
Lyndon B. Johnson
There are no favorites in my office. I treat them all with the same general inconsideration.
Lyndon B. Johnson
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
For it was only after I could become President of this country that I could really see in all its hopeful and troubling implications just how much the hopes of our citizens and the security of our Nation and the real strength of our democracy depended upon the learning and the understanding of our people.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The fact that a man is a newspaper reporter is evidence of some flaw of character.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Nothing comes free. Nothing. Not even good, especially not good.
Lyndon B. Johnson
