More quotes by Andrew Jackson
Do they think that I am such a damned fool as to think myself fit for President of the United States? No, sir I know what I am fit for. I can command a body of men in a rough way, but I am not fit to be President.
Andrew Jackson
I do not forget that I am a mechanic. I am proud to own it. Neither do I forget that the apostle Paul was a tentmaker Socrates was a sculptor and Archimedes was a mechanic.
Andrew Jackson
Go to the Scriptures... the joyful promises it contains will be a balsam to all your troubles.
Andrew Jackson
There never was a woman like her. She was gentle as a dove and brave as a lioness... The memory of my mother and her teachings were, after all, the only capital I had to start life with, and on that capital I have made my way.
Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson
The Constitution and the laws are supreme and the Union indissoluble.
Andrew Jackson
Private property is held sacred in all good governments, and particularly in our own. Yet shall the fear of invading it prevent a general from marching his army over a cornfield or burning a house which protects the enemy? A thousand other instances might be cited to show that laws must sometimes be silent when necessity speaks.
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

Andrew Jackson
Temporize not! It is always injurious.
Andrew Jackson
Perpetuity is stamped upon the Constitution by the blood of our fathers.
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 Judas of the West has closed the contract and will receive the thirty pieces of silver. . . . Was there ever witnessed such a bare faced corruption in any country before?
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
Mere precedent is a dangerous source of authority.
Andrew Jackson
The President is the direct representative of the American people and is elected by the people and responsible to them.
Andrew Jackson
I could not do otherwise without transcending the limits prescribed by the Constitution for the President and without feeling that I might in some degree disturb the security which religion nowadays enjoys in this country in its complete separation from the political concerns of the General Government.
Andrew Jackson
Oh, do not cry - be good children and we will all meet in heaven.
Andrew Jackson
My political enemies I can freely forgive but as for who abused me when I was serving my country in the field, and those who attacked me for serving my country -- Doctor, that is a different case.
Andrew Jackson
