Andrew Johnson Quotes
The goal to strive for is a poor government but a rich people.
I feel incompetent to perform duties…which have been so unexpectedly thrown upon me.
Honest conviction is my courage; the Constitution is my guide.
I am sworn to uphold the Constitution as Andy Johnson understands it and interprets it.
If I am shot at, I want no man to be in the way of the bullet.
If the rabble were lopped off at one end and the aristocrats at the other, all would be well with the country.
Slavery exists. It is black in the South, and white in the North.
There are no good laws but such as repeal other laws.
