One reason LBJ went into politics was because when he taught school in Texas, children came to school barefooted. Because of him we have Medicare, which we have to protect.

Hexagonal portrait of Jimmy Carter, with a quote about strength and gentleness attributed to Jimmy Carter.

Transcribed Text:

BEST STOICS

A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It’s a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity

Jimmy Carter
