Andrew Jackson
Heaven will be heaven only if my wife is there.
Andrew Jackson
I was born for a storm and a calm does not suit me.

Andrew Jackson
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
Being the dependents of the general government, and looking to its treasury as the source of all their emoluments, the state officers, under whatever names they might pass and by whatever forms their duties might be prescribed, would in effect be the mere stipendiaries and instruments of the central power.
Andrew Jackson
Equality of talents, of education, or of wealth can not be produced by human institutions.
Andrew Jackson
There is nothing that I shudder at more than the idea of a separation of the Union. Should such an event ever happen, which I fervently pray God to avert, from that date I view our liberty gone.
Andrew Jackson
I would sincerely regret, and which never shall happen whilst I am in office, a military guard around the President.
Andrew Jackson
