Famous quotes containing the words world and/or leaders:
“We try to go back. You know Ill probably die just a few miles from where I drew my first breath. That would have seemed like a horrible prospect to me, back when I was young and ambitious and gonna set the world on fire. But theres comfort in knowing youre gonna go full circle, end up where you started out. Ive said before that I want to live my last days where folks know when youre sick and care when you die.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (19081973)
“These semi-traitors [Union generals who were not hostile to slavery] must be watched.Let us be careful who become army leaders in the reorganized army at the end of this Rebellion.

—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
