Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson
Men do not get up and do mischief, without there is someone in the head of it.
Andrew Jackson
Peace, above all things, is to be desired, but blood must sometimes be spilled to obtain it on equable and lasting terms.
Andrew Jackson
In a country where offices are created solely for the benefit of the people no one man has any more intrinsic right to official station than another.
Andrew Jackson
Were all the worshippers of the gold calf to memorialize me and request a restoration of the deposits I would cut my right hand from my body before I would do such an act. The gold calf may be worshipped by others but as for myself I serve the Lord.
Andrew Jackson
In a free government the demand for moral qualities should be made superior to that of talents.
Andrew Jackson
It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their own selfish purposes.
Andrew Jackson
From his proceedings in Congress, he appears demented, and his actings and doings inspire my pity more than anger.
Andrew Jackson
When you get in debt you become a slave.
Andrew Jackson
If they [Mexicans] touch the hair of the head of one of our citizens, tell him [Commodore Dallas] to batter down and destroy their town and exterminate the inhabitants from the face of the earth!
