I sleep each night a little better, a little more confidently, because Lyndon Johnson is my president.
Some Kennedy aides have always insisted that Johnson misread J.F.K.’s plans for Vietnam. They say that Kennedy had begun to rethink the U.S. presence in Indochina and was reluctant to increase it.
I believe Johnson understood that the reason was Vietnam. I also believe that he felt that if there was a way to communicate the real issues in Vietnam, that the reasons would be answered or understood. But there was just no way to communicate.
Dennis Johnson, Danny Ainge, Bill Walton, Quinn Buckner, Scott Wedman. Even if you get talent like that, it’s hard to keep talent like that together.
Of course it would be great to have more scientists in Congress. But what I’d love is to have another Lyndon Johnson in Congress who makes climate change his first priority. We need people who know how to work the system and the institution.
When I fought with Michael Johnson, when I took his arm for the kimura, I can break it, but I go very slowly, be careful, because I don’t want to give him injury.
I’m ready for anybody. If it’s John Dodson, if it’s Demetrious Johnson, if it’s Joseph Benavidez, I’m ready for whichever one, whoever wants a piece of me.

I talked to Carolyn Dawn Johnson about doing a duet with her a few times, and we just haven’t gotten it done.
Donald Trump and Boris Johnson, the leader of the Leave campaign, have tapped into a similar public mood of disgruntlement. On both sides of the Atlantic, a lot of people feel they’ve been handed a bad deal.
I believe in my skill 100 percent, that I can go out there and beat Demetrious Johnson and give him the best fight there is.
Kennedy is remembered as a success mainly because of what came after: Johnson and Vietnam. Nixon and Watergate.

I probably should have had a little more tolerance with Jimmy Johnson. Seriously.
You might say that Lyndon Johnson is a cross between a Baptist preacher and a cowboy.

Rarely in my 45 years as a civil rights lawyer have I been so angry about an injustice as I am about what happened to Billy Ray Johnson.
My most revered hero is Robert Johnson. His lyrics are so consistent with rap: the danger, the boldness, the creativity.
I am delighted to be at the heart of this team of radical reformers in Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, Nick Boles and many others. It’s a team I believe will deliver the change Britain needs.
Voting third-party in 2016 meant choosing The Green Party’s Jill Stein, the Libertarian Party’s Gary Johnson, or Independent Candidate Evan McMullion.
I was a highlight coordinator. My job was to go in and watch games, watch and type. Basically every time the camera frame changed, I had to log it as something: ‘Emmitt Smith rushed for 4 yards… Close-up of Jimmy Johnson on the sidelines… 37-yard field goal.’
When I was introduced to Johnson he was a freshman Congressman.
One of my favorite modern American authors is Denis Johnson. I’m deeply inspired by all of his work – I rip him off constantly.

But to make a long story short, I decided that I was going to run, and I announced that I was going to run for president in Florida, I would be the favorite son from Florida, and that would stop Johnson and Kennedy from dividing up the state.
Bobby Kennedy’s conduct toward Lyndon Johnson was childish and despicable. As the years went on, he displayed nasty, self-pitying, and messianic qualities that would have made him a dangerously authoritarian president.
I was sent down to Cuba. Everything had been prepared with the help of Congressman Johnson and his staff.
John Dos Passos, Raymond Carver, Flaubert and William Maxwell were all very influential when I first started writing. Now, the writers I’m most interested in are the writers who are most unlike me: for example, Denis Johnson.
I was into Jimi Hendrix, Robert Johnson, the blues.
You don’t coach a Magic Johnson, you don’t coach a LeBron, you don’t coach really a Lonzo. They understand the game, they smart, they understand.

Karl Johnson, my first piano player at Milt Trenier’s, he just swung really hard and gave me a sense of really belonging to the jazz scene.
My favorite point guard, growing up, was Magic Johnson. The reason why I say that is he was a winner, and he did everything in his power to make his teammates better. That’s what the game is all about as a point guard.
I’m an Olympic champ. I defeated Demetrious Johnson. I defeated T. J. Dillashaw. You think a World Series of Fighting former champ is gonna scare me?
When I was ranked No. 11 or 12, they offered me Gustafsson who was the No. 1 contender, and I didn’t hesitate. I was No. 10 when I fought Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson who was the No. 1 contender. We accept fights, but not everyone is like that, I’m beginning to find out. It’s not right.
In 1964, I tried to convince my grandfather, who was active in the New York City firefighters union, to vote for Barry Goldwater over Lyndon Johnson because at the time I thought his approach to limited government was right on.
I was introduced to Congressman Lyndon B. Johnson. The young Congressman was very friendly.
Someone like Boris Johnson is reluctant to answer questions about ambition because then the story becomes all about his ambition. Sure, he’s got ambition – that’s no secret at all. But also, he’s very strongly motivated to try to get the kind of Brexit he believes in.
Lyndon Johnson faced some clear moral issues.
When former president Lyndon B. Johnson unveiled his plans for the program that would become Medicaid, he reflected on the future of public policy in the United States.
Jack Johnson was the first black heavyweight champion, so I took part of his name. I admired Rocky Marciano, so I took part of his name.

Around the time President Lyndon B. Johnson was declaring a War on Poverty in the 1960s, federal, state and local governments began accelerating a veritable War on the Private Sector.

I want success for Woody Johnson, I do.
Under Superintendent Johnson’s leadership, our police department is on a path to earn the respect of every community in the City of Chicago.
I was chasing that Demetrious Johnson fight. It just really didn’t seem like it wanted to work itself out.
My thought was I should try to stick with names that people may recognize like Robert Johnson, Son House, and Hoagy Carmichael, so if somebody cared to research, they would find a wealth of material.
That’s what we want to do here at Johnson Space Center. I think what we have always brought to NASA and brought to the country is trying to push the boundaries, trying to go to the next level.

Going down to 170 was hell. But if I hadn’t fought at 170, people wouldn’t know who Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson is.
A lot of people were ambivalent about Vietnam. Lyndon Johnson in 1964 positioned himself as the peace candidate. Once Johnson sent large amounts of troops into battle in 1965, most Americans were behind the war.
Calvin Johnson, we’ve never seen a receiver like him – size, speed and how he’s developed his overall route running and toughness.
