Live within your means, never be in debt, and by husbanding your money you can always lay it out well. But when you get in debt you become a slave. Therefore I say to you never involve yourself in debt, and become no man's surety.

After eight years as President I have only two regrets: that I have not shot Henry Clay or hanged John C. Calhoun.
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
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.
