Lady Bird Johnson

“Wildflowers are the stuff of my heart!”

“The challenge we now face is to build on the record of the past, to continue accepting new responsibilities and seeking new opportunities to serve.”

“You do what you can where you are. You musn’t feel impotent because you’re not all powerful.”

“It's odd that you can get so anesthetized by your own pain or your own problem that you don't quite fully share the hell of someone close to you.”

“While the spirit of neighborliness was important on the frontier because neighbors were so few, it is even more important now because neighbors are so many”

“The environment is where we all meet; where we all have a mutual interest; it is the one thing that all of us share. it is not only a mirror of ourselves, but a focusing lens on what we can become...”

“Perhaps no place in any community is so totally democratic as the town library. The only entrance requirement is interest.”
