Andrew Johnson actually said...

"Honest conviction is my courage. The Constitution is my guide."

"I have examined with care the bill, which originated in the Senate and has been passed by the two Houses of Congress, to amend an act entitled 'An act to establish a bureau for the relief of freedmen ..."

"I have with that view nominated to the Senate an officer of the same grade with the one now accredited to the Republic of Hayti"

"I recommend that an appropriation be made by Congress toward providing for his compensation"
