Andrew Jackson
Unless you become more watchful in your states and check the spirit of monopoly and thirst for exclusive privileges you will in the end find that...the control over your dearest interests has passed into the hands of these corporations.
Andrew Jackson
[The Bible] is the rock on which our Republic rests.
Andrew Jackson
The planter, the farmer, the mechanic, and the laborer...form the great body of the people of the United States they are the bone and sinew of the country men who love liberty and desire nothing but equal rights and equal laws.
Andrew Jackson
Give me a thousand Tennesseans, and I'll whip any other thousand men on the globe!
Andrew Jackson
Money is power, and in that government which pays all the public officers of the states will all political power be substantially concentrated.
Andrew Jackson
War is a blessing compared with national degradation.
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
