I have told friends and supporters who are urging me to run that I would not oppose President Johnson under any foreseeable circumstances.

I do not run for the presidency merely to oppose any man, but to propose new policies. I run because I am convinced that this country is on a perilous course and because I have such strong feelings about what must be done, and I feel that I'm obliged to do all I can.

Like Lyndon Johnson, President Obama understands that timidity in a time of troubles is a prescription for failure.

Many people remember that spirit that President Kennedy summoned forth. Many people look to me as somebody who embodies that sense of possibility.

I can not think of any circumstances in which advertising would not be an evil.

I thought they'd get one of us, but Jack, after all he's been through, never worried about it I thought it would be me.
