I feel incompetent to perform duties... which have been so unexpectedly thrown upon me.
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.
I am sworn to uphold the Constitution as Andy Johnson understands it and interprets it.
There are no good laws but such as repeal other laws.
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.
