Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"Dissolving ancient feuds and settling controversies is integral to progress."

"Why can't we have a political settlement? Why can't we understand our fellow human beings? Why can't we negotiate a solution? Why do men have to die?"

"I need your help and your support in the trials and tribulations that go with the leadership that is incumbent upon this great land of ours."

"We have not made any hard and fast decisions today, although we have explored many of the interests of our respective people."
