Andrew Jackson

There are, perhaps, few men who can for any length of time enjoy office and power without being more or less under the influence of feelings unfavorable to the faithful discharge of their political duties.
Andrew Jackson
The people are the government, administering it by their agents they are the government, the sovereign power.
Andrew Jackson
Go to the Scriptures... the joyful promises it contains will be a balsam to all your troubles.
Andrew Jackson
The great constitutional corrective in the hands of the people against usurpation of power, or corruption by their agents is the right of suffrage and this when used with calmness and deliberation will prove strong enough.
Andrew Jackson
[The Bible] is the rock on which our Republic rests.
