We do not want an expanding struggle with consequences, that no one can perceive, nor will we bluster or bully or flaunt our power, but we will not surrender and we will not retreat, for behind our american pledge lies the determination and resources, i believe, of all of the american nation.

More From Lyndon B. Johnson

I pledge to set out to live a thousand lives between printed pages. i pledge to use books as doors to other minds, old and young, girl and boy, man and animal. i pledge to use books to open windows to a thousand different worlds and to the thousand different faces of my own world. i pledge to use books to make my universe spread much wider than the world i live in every day. i pledge to treat my books like friends, visiting them all from time to time and keeping them close.

No sovereign, no court, no personal loyalty, no aristocracy, no church, no clergy, no army, no diplomatic service, no country gentlemen, no palaces, no castles, nor manors, nor old country-houses, nor parsonages, nor thatched cottages nor ivied ruins no cathedrals, nor abbeys, nor little norman churches no great universities nor public schools -- no oxford, nor eton, nor harrow no literature, no novels, no museums, no pictures, no political society, no sporting class -- no epsom nor ascot some such list as that might be drawn up of the absent things in american life.

There were lots of lies along the way in life. lies without arms, lies that were ill, lies that did harm, lies that could kill. lies on foot, or behind the wheel, black-tie lies, and lies that could steal.

Faith is the surrender of the mind; it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. it's our need to believe, and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. of all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated.

...stand with me today and pledge to work for an america that doesn't ignore those in need and lifts up those who wish to succeed. pledge to hold your government accountable for ignoring the suffering of so many for far too long. and pledge to do your part to build the america that we have dreamed of - where the bright light of opportunity shines on every person - an america where the family you are born into, or the color of your skin, will never control your destiny.

What can i do my friends, if i do not know? i am neither christian nor jew, nor muslim nor hindu. what can i do? what can i do? not of the east, nor of the west, nor of the land, nor of the sea, not of nature's essence, nor of circling heavens. what could i be?

Suppose someone should offer me a plateful of crumbs after i had eaten a t-bone steak. i would say, "no, thank you. i am already satisfied." christian, that is the secret - you can be so filled with the things of christ, so enamored with the things of god that you do not have time for the sinful pleasures of the world.
