More quotes by Andrew Jackson
There are only two things I can't give up one is coffee and the other is tobacco.
Andrew Jackson
Unless you become more watchful in your states and check the spirit of monopoly and thirst for exclusive privileges you will in the end find that...the control over your dearest interests has passed into the hands of these corporations.
Andrew Jackson
No free government can stand without virtue in the people, and a lofty spirit of partiotism.
Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson
John Calhoun, if you secede from my nation I will secede your head from the rest of your body.
Andrew Jackson
If congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was given them to use themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations.
Andrew Jackson
Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and its conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.
Andrew Jackson
My political enemies I can freely forgive but as for who abused me when I was serving my country in the field, and those who attacked me for serving my country -- Doctor, that is a different case.
Andrew Jackson
Private property is held sacred in all good governments, and particularly in our own. Yet shall the fear of invading it prevent a general from marching his army over a cornfield or burning a house which protects the enemy? A thousand other instances might be cited to show that laws must sometimes be silent when necessity speaks.
Andrew Jackson
Live within your means, never be in debt, and by husbanding your money you can always lay it out well. But when you get in debt you become a slave. Therefore I say to you never involve yourself in debt, and become no man's surety.
Andrew Jackson
Elevate those guns a little lower.
Andrew Jackson
The people are the government, administering it by their agents they are the government, the sovereign power.
Andrew Jackson
I have never in my life seen a Kentuckian who didn't have a gun, a pack of cards, and a jug of whiskey.
Andrew Jackson
The Constitution and the laws are supreme and the Union indissoluble.
Andrew Jackson
We must regain Texas, peaceably if we can, forcibly if we must.
Andrew Jackson
If a warden sees cigarette litter being thrown from a car, they will take the number and trace the owner to send them a fine.
Andrew Jackson
Live within your means, never be in debt, and by husbanding your money you can always lay it out well.
Andrew Jackson
I trust in due time to lay the perfidy, meanness, and wickedness of [Henry] Clay naked before the American people. I have lately got an intimation of some of his secret movements, which, if I can reach with positive and responsible proof, I will wield to his political, and perhaps his actual, destruction.
Andrew Jackson
I cannot consent that my mortal body shall be laid in a repository prepared for an Emperor or a King my republican feelings and principles forbid it the simplicity of our system of government forbids it.
Andrew Jackson
The Judas of the West has closed the contract and will receive the thirty pieces of silver. . . . Was there ever witnessed such a bare faced corruption in any country before?
