Lady Bird Quotes

-
Some thought provoking quotes from Lady Bird Johnson:

• Any committee is only as good as the most knowledgeable, determined and vigorous person on it. There must be somebody who provides the flame.

• Perhaps no place in any community is so totally democratic as the town library. The only entrance requirement is interest.

• Where flowers bloom so does hope.

    I heard on NPR yesterday that she had passed away. I did LOVE her focus on beautification of America!!! Has anyone else seen the cheery trees in blossom in DC?

    Not only have I seen the cherry trees in blossom in DC, but I have enjoyed her flowers on the highways in many states throughout our travels.

    The other two quotes on the committee and library certainly ring true.

    I vividly remember the day she became First Lady.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
