Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"I have said I believe in the tight fist and the open mind--a tight fist with money and an open mind to the needs of America."

"We are going to put 'thrift' back in the dictionary."

"Since World War II, we have sought a Europe growing in intimacy and unity with America."

"We are always ready to look for a better or easier path, but we intend to climb to the summit."
