Lyndon B. Johnson Quotes About Belief

Quotes about: Belief

  Lyndon B. Johnson

  Color, America, Justice

  Inaugural Address, delivered 20 January 1965

• Government is best which is closest to the people. Yet that belief is betrayed by those State and local officials who engage in denying the right of citizens to vote. Their actions serve
  only to assure that their State governments and local governments shall be remote from the people, least representative of the people's will and least responsive to the people's wishes.

  Lyndon B. Johnson

  Government, People, Wish

• This Congress did more to uplift education, more to attack disease in this country and around the world, and more to conquer poverty than any other session in all American history, and what more worthy achievements could any person want to have? For it was the Congress that was more true than any other Congress to Thomas Jefferson's belief that: 'The care of human life and happiness is the first and only legitimate objective of good Government.'

  Lyndon B. Johnson
