More quotes by Andrew Jackson
It is a well-settled principle of the international code that where one nation owes another a liquidated debt which it refuses or neglects to pay the aggrieved party may seize on the property belonging to the other, its citizens or subjects, sufficient to pay the debt without giving just cause of war.
Andrew Jackson
It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their own selfish purposes.
Andrew Jackson
I am now eased in my finances and replenished in my wardrobe.
Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson
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.
Andrew Jackson
Their object is disunion.
Andrew Jackson
Perpetuity is stamped upon the Constitution by the blood of our fathers.
Andrew Jackson
There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses.
Andrew Jackson
All the rights secured to the citizens under the Constitution are worth nothing, and a mere bubble, except guaranteed to them by an independent and virtuous Judiciary.
Andrew Jackson
Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error.
Andrew Jackson
I have never in my life seen a Kentuckian who didn't have a gun, a pack of cards, and a jug of whiskey.
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.
