More quotes by Andrew Johnson
Whenever you hear a man prating about the Constitution, spot him as a traitor.
Andrew Johnson
I feel incompetent to perform duties...which have been so unexpectedly thrown upon me.
Andrew Johnson

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
My right side is paralyzed. I need no doctor. I can overcome my own troubles.
Andrew Johnson
Slavery exists. It is black in the South, and white in the North.
Andrew Johnson
Tyranny and despotism can be exercised by many, more rigorously, more vigorously, and more severely, than by one.
Andrew Johnson
I am sworn to uphold the Constitution as Andy Johnson understands it and interprets it.
Andrew Johnson
If the rabble were lopped off at one end and the aristocrat at the other, all would be well with the country.
Andrew Johnson
I never thought I would be impeached.
Andrew Johnson
If you always support the correct principles then you will never get the wrong results!
Andrew Johnson
