More Lyndon Johnson Quotes

I want--more than any human being in all the world--to see the killing stopped.

Maybe somehow, some way, sometime there will be somebody willing to sit down at the table and talk instead of kill, discuss instead of fight...

And I ask myself that every morning and I reflect on it every evening.

I want to negotiate. I want a political solution. I want--more than any human being in all the world--to see the killing stopped.
