I trust in due time to lay the perfidy, meanness, and wickedness of [Henry] Clay naked before the American people.

Andrew Jackson
Image
Internal improvement and the diffusion of knowledge, so far as they can be promoted by the constitutional acts of the Federal Government, are of high importance.
Andrew Jackson
Image
From his proceedings in Congress, he appears demented, and his actings and doings inspire my pity more than anger.
Andrew Jackson
Image
Mischief springs from the power which the moneyed interest derives from a paper currency which they are able to control, from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges... which are employed altogether for their benefit.
Andrew Jackson
Image
The bold effort the present (central) bank had made to control the government ... are but premonitions of the fate that await the American people should they be deluded into a perpetuation of this institution or the establishment of another like it.
Andrew Jackson
Image
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
Image
Men do not get up and do mischief, without there is someone in the head of it.

Image
There goes a man made by the Lord Almighty and not by his tailor.
Andrew Jackson
Image
Toward the aborigines of the country no one can indulge a more friendly feeling than myself, or would go further in attempting to reclaim them from their wandering habits and make them a happy, prosperous people.
Andrew Jackson
Image
The authority of the Supreme Court must not be permitted to control the Congress or the Executive when acting in their legislative capacities, but to have only such influence as the force of their reasoning may deserve.
