Lyndon B. Johnson on history

If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River, the headline that afternoon would read: ‘President Can’t Swim.’

It’s probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.

The man who has no sense of history, is like a man who has no ears or eyes.

There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know.
