Lyndon Johnson

Famous quotes containing the words lyndon johnson, lyndon and/or johnson:

    The two-party system has given this country the war of Lyndon Johnson, the Watergate of Nixon, and the incompetence of Carter. Saying we should keep the two-party system simply because it is working is like saying the Titanic voyage was a success because a few people survived on life-rafts.
    Eugene J. McCarthy (b. 1916)

    Long-expected one and twenty
    Ling’ring year at last is flown,
    Pomp and pleasure, pride and plenty,
    Great Sir John, are all your own.
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
