About this Quote
Lyndon B. Johnson thought that the United States could keep its domestic policies focused on establishing a "Great Society" while concurrently fighting in the Vietnam War. He believed that military engagement in Vietnam did not always need to jeopardize the country's efforts to promote social and financial development.
"To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization"
