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.
I feel incompetent to perform duties... which have been so unexpectedly thrown upon me.
I hold it the duty of the executive to insist upon frugality in the expenditure, and a sparing economy is itself a great national source.
If I am shot at, I want no man to be in the way of the bullet.... (more Andrew Johnson quotes)
