Lyndon B. Johnson, “Remarks at the Lighting of the Nation’s Christmas Tree,” December 22, 1963, Lyndon B. Johnson’s Christmas Eve Radio and T.V. Broadcast
“
We were taught by Him whose birth we commemorate that after death there is life. . . . In these last 200 years we have guided the building of our Nation and our society by those principles and precepts brought to earth nearly 2,000 years ago on that first Christmas.

In these last 200 years we have guided the building of our Nation and our society by those principles and precepts brought to earth nearly 2,000 years ago on that first Christmas." in the context of "Lyndon B. Johnson, “Remarks at the Lighting of the Nation’s Christmas Tree,” December 22, 1963, Lyndon B. Johnson’s Christmas Eve Radio and T.V. Broadcast" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
