I pray that when historians write the story of this time, of our lives, that it may be recorded that this president tried--tried t...o lead his nation with justice and with compassion, and with courage; and there was faith, and there was firmness in his heart. May it further be written that the people of the United States cast out their doubts, looked with great pride on their achievements, and bravely made of this land and this world a brighter, happier place for all mankind. This is our choice. This is our decision. Let us all be greatly determined that this society shall survive and this society shall succeed. And what it should be will be for all time to come.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

I told them I'm not going to let Vietnam go the way of China. I told them to go back and tell those generals in Saigon that Lyndon... Johnson intends to stand by our word, but by God, I want something for my money. I want 'em to get off their butts and get out in those jungles and whip hell out of some Communists. And then I want 'em to leave me alone, because I've got some bigger things to do right here at home.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
