For this is what America is all about. It is the uncrossed desert and the unclimbed ridge. It is the star that is not reached and the harvest that's sleeping in the unplowed ground. Is our world gone? We say farewell. Is a new world coming? We welcome it, and we will bend it to the hopes of man. — Lyndon B. Johnson · 1965 We still seek no wider war. — Lyndon B. Johnson · 1964 Unfortunately, many Americans live on the outskirts of hope—some because of their poverty, and some because of their color, and all too many because of both. Our task is to help replace their despair with opportunity. This administration today, here and now, declares unconditional war on poverty in America. — Lyndon B.

Johnson · 1964 Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or to lose. — Lyndon B. Johnson · 1963 We are a nation of believers. Underneath the clamor of building and the rush of our day's pursuits, we are believers in justice and liberty and in our own union. We believe that every man must some day be free. — Lyndon B. Johnson · 1965 All 9 quotes →
