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 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.
