Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson
It will be my sincere and constant desire to observe toward the Indian tribes within our limits a just and liberal policy, and to give that humane and considerate attention to their rights and their wants which is consistent with the habits of our Government and the feelings of our people.
Andrew Jackson
This season has been full of rewards. The dinners and banquets just keep on coming. It's great. We want to carry it on as long as we can.

Freemasonry is a moral order, instituted by virtuous men, with the praiseworthy design of recalling to our remembrance the most sublime truths, in the midst of the most innocent and social pleasures, founded on liberality, brotherly love and charity.
Andrew Jackson
Freemasonry is an ancient and respectable institution, embracing individuals of every nation, of every religion, and of every condition in life. Wealth, power and talents are not necessary to the person of a Freemason. An unblemished character and a virtuous conduct are the only qualifications for admission into the Order.
Andrew Jackson
Too much praise cannot be bestowed on those who managed my artillery.
Andrew Jackson
I am now eased in my finances and replenished in my wardrobe.
Andrew Jackson
I would sincerely regret, and which never shall happen whilst I am in office, a military guard around the President.
Andrew Jackson
Elevate those guns a little lower.
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
