More From Lyndon B. Johnson

A conformist is a man who declares, "it's true because others believe it" - but an individualist is not a man who declares, "it's true because i believe it." an individual declares, "i believe it because i see in reason that it is true.

Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory. it can no longer serve to settle disputes. it can no longer concern the great powers alone. for a nuclear disaster, spread by wind and water and fear, could well engulf the great and the small, the rich and the poor, the committed and the uncommitted alike. mankind must put an end to war--or war will put an end to mankind.
War Wind Water
We're looking at the singular condition of poverty. all the other individual problems spring from that condition... doesn't matter if it's death, aid, trade, aids, famine, instability, governance, corruption or war. all of that is poverty. our problem is that everybody tries to heal each of the individual aspects of poverty, not poverty itself.

Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory. it can no longer serve to settle disputes... can no longer be of concern to great powers alone.
Peace War Victory
No matter what the cause, even though it be to conquer with tanks and planes and modern artillery some defenseless black population, there will be no lack of poets and preachers and essayists and philosophers to invent the necessary reasons and gild the infamy with righteousness. to this righteousness there is, of course, never an adequate reply. thus a war to end poverty becomes an unanswerable enterprise. for who can decently be for poverty? to even debate whether the war will end poverty becomes an exhibition of ugly pragmatism and the sign of an ignoble mind.
War Black Mind
You got into these small towns in pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. and they fell through the clinton administration, and the bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. and it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

If we want to have a two-class society and an unemployed, welfare-crippled lower class that has no access to equality and educational opportunity and no access to jobs and is resentful and furiously angry, we can have it - that's what we've been willing to pay for so far.
Jobs Educational Opportunity
Our age of anxiety is, in great part, the result of trying to do today's job with yesterday's tools and yesterday's concepts.
