Quote by Lyndon B. Johnson

“I am a free man, an American, a United States Senator, and a Democrat in that order. I am also a liberal,, a conservative, a Texan, a taxpayer, a rancher, a consumer, a parent, a voter, and not as young as I used to be nor as old as I expect to be, and I am all these things in no fixed order.”

“There are pains so deep they don’t scream — they freeze. And the soul, to keep itself from shattering, wraps itself in white from the inside out.

“There isn’t a someday. There never was. No one has ever been to the future that you keep putting your life on hold for. All we ever have is now. And if you continually put your life on hold for what your life will be like tomorrow, or the next year, or when you finally lose the weight, you won’t recognize that you already have what you want because you will have spent years training yourself to want, not have.”
