Education is ‘the guardian genius of our democracy.’ Nothing really means more to our future, not our military defenses, not our missiles or our bombers, not our production economy, not even our democratic system of government. For all of these are worthless if we lack the brain power to support and sustain them (Lyndon B Johnson Quotes)
Most of all we need an education which will create an educated mind. This is a mind not simply a repository of information and skills, but a mind that is a source of creative skepticism, characterized by a willingness to challenge old assumptions and to be challenged, a spaciousness of outlook, and convictions that are deeply held, but which new facts and new experiences can always modify (Lyndon B Johnson Quotes)

In my state, on the basis of the separate but equal doctrine, we have made enormous strides over the years in the education of both races. Personally, I think it would have been sounder judgment to allow that progress to continue through the process of natural evolution. However, there is no point crying about spilt milk (Lyndon B Johnson Quotes)
But, most of all, the Great Society is not a safe harbor, a resting place, a final objective, a finished work. It is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor (Lyndon B Johnson Quotes)
A President Roosevelt comes only once in a century. I believe God knew and does know of the need of the world at this moment. I don’t believe President Roosevelt is an accident in time, or that it is an accident that he is President for a third time. I believe that Franklin D. Roosevelt truly is the voice of liberty in the world (Lyndon B Johnson Quotes)
A good president does with executive power what Pablo Picasso did with paint. He takes bills into new and slightly discomfiting territory. He puts extra eyes on policies. He moves the mouth of the Supreme Court from where it should be to where it must be (Lyndon B Johnson Quotes)
The American West is just arriving at the threshold of its greatness and growth. Where the West of yesterday is glamorized in our fiction, the future of the American West now is both fabulous and factual (Lyndon B Johnson Quotes)

The economic toll for our neglect amounts to billions of dollars each year (Lyndon B Johnson Quotes)

In this age when there can be no losers in peace and no victors in war; we must recognize the obligation to match national strength with national restraint. (Lyndon B Johnson Quotes)
In a nation of millions and a world of billions, the individual is still the first and basic agent of change. (Lyndon B Johnson Quotes)
When things haven’t gone well for you, call in a secretary or a staff man and chew him out. You will sleep better and they will appreciate the attention. (Lyndon B Johnson Quotes)
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 Quotes)
The atomic bomb certainly is the most powerful of all weapons, but it is conclusively powerful and effective only in the hands of the nation which controls the sky. (Lyndon B Johnson Quotes)
