Andrew Johnson:
[addressing the gleeful crowd celebrating the Union's victory gathered around outside of Johnson's Hotel balcony]
The few words I shall say to you are not my own.
[Quoting Lincoln]
Andrew Johnson:
'With malice toward none, with charity for all. Let us bind up the nation's wounds.' And General Grant; when he took Lee's army; was no pride, no boasting. He just said 'Let us have peace.' Now you trust and follow Mr. Lincoln to guide us under God for four years more!
[the crowd cheers and the band begins to play]
Eliza McCardle Johnson:
[as she lies in bed next to him at the window]
Oh, splendid Andrew. You said just the right thing.
