“I do not believe that the Great Society is the ordered, changeless, and sterile battalion of the ants. It is the excitement of becoming—always becoming, trying, probing, falling, resting, and trying again—but always trying and always gaining.
— Lyndon B. Johnson
36th President of the United States
1960s / Inaugural address (January 1965)
