Andrew Johnson

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.

If I am shot at, I want no man to be in the way of the bullet.

We need men with moral courage to speak and write their real thoughts, and to stand by their convictions, even to the very death.

The Constitution of the United States allows us to change; I don't have a problem with that.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
