More quotes by Andrew Jackson
All who wish to hand down to their children that happy republican system bequeathed to them by their revolutionary fathers, must now take their stand against this consolidating, corrupting money power, and put it down, or their children will become hewers of wood and drawers of water to this aristocratic ragocracy.
Andrew Jackson
In a free government the demand for moral qualities should be made superior to that of talents.
Andrew Jackson
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
Money is power, and in that government which pays all the public officers of the states will all political power be substantially concentrated.
Andrew Jackson
Disunion by force is treason.
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
The President is the direct representative of the American people and is elected by the people and responsible to them.
Andrew Jackson
The hydra of corruption is only scotched, not dead. An investigation kills and it and its supporters dead. Let this be had.
Andrew Jackson
But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing.
Andrew Jackson
The individual who refuses to defend his rights when called by his government deserves to be a slave, and must be punished as an enemy of his country and a friend to her foe
Andrew Jackson
From his proceedings in Congress, he appears demented, and his actings and doings inspire my pity more than anger.
Andrew Jackson
If in madness of delusion, anyone shall lift his parricidal hand against this blessed union, the arms of thousands will be raised to save it, and the curse of millions will fall upon the head which may have plotted its destruction.
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
Freemasonry is an establishment founded on the benevolent intention of extending and conferring mutual happiness upon the best and truest principles of moral life and social virtue.
Andrew Jackson
The murderer only takes the life of the parent and leaves his character as a goodly heritage to his children, whilst the slanderer takes away his goodly reputation and leaves him a living monument to his children's disgrace.
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
The great can protect themselves, but the poor and humble require the arm and shield of the law.
Andrew Jackson
I say to you never involve yourself in debt, and become no man's surety.
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
The people are the government, administering it by their agents they are the government, the sovereign power.
Andrew Jackson
