“I taught school in the early days of my manhood and I think I know something about mothers. There is a thread of aspiration that runs strong in them.

—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

“Our institutions have a potent digestion, and may in time convert and assimilate to good all elements thrown in, however originally alien.”
