More quotes by Andrew Johnson
When I die, I desire no better winding sheet than the Stars and Stripes, and no softer pillow than the Constitution of my country.
Andrew Johnson
The homestead policy was established only after long and earnest resistance experience proves its wisdom. The lands in the hands of industrious settlers, whose labor creates wealth and contributes to the public resources, are worth more to the United States than if they had been reserved as a solitude for future purchasers.
Andrew Johnson
My right side is paralyzed. I need no doctor. I can overcome my own troubles.
Andrew Johnson
I have reached the summit of my ambition.
Andrew Johnson
I have lived among negroes, all my life, and I am for this Government with slavery under the Constitution as it is. I am for the Government of my fathers with negroes. I am for it without negroes. Before I would see this Government destroyed I would send every negro back to Africa, disintegrated and blotted out of space
Andrew Johnson
Whenever you hear a man prating about the Constitution, spot him as a traitor.
Andrew Johnson
If blacks were given the right to vote, that would place every splay-footed, bandy-shanked, hump-backed, thick-lipped, flat-nosed, woolly-headed, ebon-colored in the country upon an equality with the poor white man.
Andrew Johnson
The enactment of the Homestead Act would create the strongest tie between the citizen and the Government-he would with cheerfulness contribute his proportionable part of the taxes to defray the expenses of the political system under which he lived.
Andrew Johnson
Let us look forward to the time when we can take the flag of our country and nail it below the Cross, and there let it wave as it waved in the olden times, and let us gather around it and inscribed for our motto: 'Liberty and Union, one and inseparable, now and forever,' and exclaim, 'Christ first, our country next!'
Andrew Johnson
Slavery exists. It is black in the South, and white in the North.
Andrew Johnson
If I am to be shot at, I want no man to be in the way of the bullet.
Andrew Johnson
I am sworn to uphold the Constitution as Andy Johnson understands it and interprets it.
Andrew Johnson
It is our sacred duty to transmit unimpaired to our posterity the blessings of liberty which were bequeathed to us by the founders of the Republic.
Andrew Johnson
Tyranny and despotism can be exercised by many, more rigorously, more vigorously, and more severely, than by one.
Andrew Johnson
Who, then, will govern? The answer must be, Man - for we have no angels in the shape of men, as yet, who are willing to take charge of our political affairs.
Andrew Johnson
Duties have been mine consequences are God's.
Andrew Johnson
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.
Andrew Johnson
Legislation can neither be wise nor just which seeks the welfare of a single interest at the expense and to the injury of many and varied interests.
Andrew Johnson
I realized, there are people out there who can beat me, want to beat me. And unless I continue to innovate and evolve, I am going to learn a painful lesson from someone who has.
Andrew Johnson
Notwithstanding a mendacious press notwithstanding a subsidized gang of hirelings who have not ceased to traduce me, I have discharged all my official duties and fulfilled my pledges. And I say here tonight that if my predecessor had lived, the vials of wrath would have poured out upon him.
Andrew Johnson
