Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"The new standard, the new goal of Government, and within Government, must therefore be the standard goal of excellence."

"I do not intend for us to settle for an uneasy peace for the world, or an inferior society for America, or an inadequate education for our children."

"Education is a national need, and I want to assure you that as long as I am President, the education of your children is going to receive top priority by the men who lead your Nation."

"Help us--help us to open the doors of America's abundance and freedom's promise to every man, whatever his race, or his region, or his religion."
