Andrew Jackson
The authority of the Supreme Court must not be permitted to control the Congress or the Executive when acting in their legislative capacities, but to have only such influence as the force of their reasoning may deserve.
Andrew Jackson
I hope and trust to meet you in Heaven, both white and black-both white and black.
Andrew Jackson
Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and its conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.

Andrew Jackson

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

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
The Supreme Court has made its decision, now let them enforce it.
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
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
Thomas Paine needs no monument made with hands he has erected a monument in the hearts of all lovers of liberty.
Andrew Jackson
I find virtue to be found amongst the farmers of the country alone, not about courts, where courtiers dwell.
Andrew Jackson
