More quotes by 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
I trust in due time to lay the perfidy, meanness, and wickedness of [Henry] Clay naked before the American people. I have lately got an intimation of some of his secret movements, which, if I can reach with positive and responsible proof, I will wield to his political, and perhaps his actual, destruction.
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
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
I cannot consent that my mortal body shall be laid in a repository prepared for an Emperor or a King my republican feelings and principles forbid it the simplicity of our system of government forbids it.

Andrew Jackson
No free government can stand without virtue in the people, and a lofty spirit of partiotism.
Andrew Jackson
Secession, like any other REVOLUTIONARY ACT, may be morally justified by the extremity of oppression but to call it a constitutional right is confounding the meaning of terms.
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.

When you get in debt you become a slave.
Andrew Jackson
Elevate those guns a little lower.
Andrew Jackson
There is nothing that I shudder at more than the idea of a separation of the Union. Should such an event ever happen, which I fervently pray God to avert, from that date I view our liberty gone.
Andrew Jackson
Mischief springs from the power which the moneyed interest derives from a paper currency which they are able to control, from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges... which are employed altogether for their benefit.
Andrew Jackson
I not only rejoice, but congratulate my beloved country Texas is reannexed, and the safety, prosperity, and the greatest interest of the whole Union is secured by this great and important national act.
Andrew Jackson
The Constitution and the laws are supreme and the Union indissoluble.
Andrew Jackson
If they [Mexicans] touch the hair of the head of one of our citizens, tell him [Commodore Dallas] to batter down and destroy their town and exterminate the inhabitants from the face of the earth!
Andrew Jackson
