Andrew Jackson
There goes a man made by the Lord Almighty and not by his tailor.
Andrew Jackson
The hydra of corruption is only scotched, not dead. An investigation kills and it and its supporters dead. Let this be had.

Andrew Jackson
The President is the direct representative of the American people and is elected by the people and responsible to them.
Andrew Jackson
Private property is held sacred in all good governments, and particularly in our own.

A thousand other instances might be cited to show that laws must sometimes be silent when necessity speaks.
Andrew Jackson
You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out.
Andrew Jackson
