Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"It is a landmark bill because of its new ideas."

"No man and no woman ever grows too old or too successful to forget the memory of a childhood home that was without lights, and that was without water, and that was without covering on the floor."

"This measure votes 'no' on 'America the Ugly'--and it votes 'yes' on preserving, for our posterity, 'America the Beautiful.'"

"I pledge to you that we shall do all that must be done to fulfill our commitment."
