Lyndon B. JohnsonI 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.

In youth we have warm hopes, which are soon blasted by rashness and negligence, and great designs which are defeated by inexperience. In age, we have knowledge and prudence, without spirit to exert, or motives to prompt them; we are able to plan schemes, and regulate measures, but have not time remaining to bring them to completion.
Lyndon B. Johnson
