Doris Kearns Goodwin Quotes

The Very Qualities That Had Led To Johnson's Political And Legislative Success Were Precisely Those That Now Operated To Destroy Him: His Inward Insistence That The World Adapt Itself To His Goals; His Faith In The Nation's Limitless Capacity; His Tendency To Evaluate All Human Activity In Terms Of Its Political Significance; His Insistence On Translating Every Disruptive Situation Into One Where Bargaining Was Possible; His Reliance On Personal Touch; His Ability To Speak To Each Of His Constituent Groups On Its Own Terms. All These Gifts, Instead Of Sustaining Him, Now Conspired To Destroy Him.
