More From Lyndon B. Johnson

I do believe that india needs a lot more foreign direct investment than we've got, and we should have the ambition to move in the same league many other countries in our neighborhood are moving. we may not be able to reach where the chinese are today, but there is no reason why we should not think big about the role of foreign direct investment, particularly in the areas relating to infrastructure, where our needs for investment are very large. we need new initiatives, management skills, and i do believe that direct foreign investment can play a very important role.

The necessaries of life occasion the great expense of the poor. they find it difficult to get food, and the greater part of their little revenue is spent in getting it. the luxuries and vanities of life occasion the principal expense of the rich, and a magnificent house embellishes and sets off to the best advantage all the other luxuries and vanities which they possess ... it is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion.

Higher education isn't just a personal investment. it's a public good that pays off in a more competitive workforce and better-informed and engaged citizens. every year, we spend nearly $100 billion on corporate welfare, and more than $500 billion on defense spending. surely ensuring the next generation can compete in the global economy is at least as important as subsidies for big business and military adventures around the globe. in fact, i think we can and must go further - not just making public higher education tuition-free, but reinventing education in america as we know it.

Men were considered "free" only so that they might be considered guilty - could be judged and punished: consequently, every act had to be considered as willed, and the origin of every act had to be considered as lying within the consciousness (and thus the most fundamental psychological deception was made the principle of psychology itself).

In burma, we need to improve education in the country - not only primary education, but secondary and tertiary education. our education system is very very bad. but, of course, if you look at primary education, we have to think in terms of early childhood development that's going back to before the child is born - making sure the mother is well nourished and the child is properly nurtured.

There is a big misconception about arranged marriage. yes, it can mean that you meet someone and then have to marry them, but this was my mother saying, 'i'm going to introduce you to so-and-so - if you don't like them, fair enough.

How big are souls anyway?" asked coraline. the other mother sat down at the kitchen table and leaned against the back wall, saying nothing. she picked at her teeth with a long crimson-varnished fingernail, then she tapped the finger, gently, tap-tap-tap against the polished black surface of her black button eyes.
