More quotes by Andrew Jackson
In a free government the demand for moral qualities should be made superior to that of talents.
Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson
I do not promise to believe tomorrow exactly what I believe today, and I do not believe today exactly what I believed yesterday. I expect to make, as I have made, some honest progress within every succeeding twenty-four hours.
Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson
Equality of talents, of education, or of wealth can not be produced by human institutions.
Andrew Jackson
Men do not get up and do mischief, without there is someone in the head of it.
Andrew Jackson
I do not forget that I am a mechanic. I am proud to own it. Neither do I forget that the apostle Paul was a tentmaker Socrates was a sculptor and Archimedes was a mechanic.
Andrew Jackson
I was born for a storm and a calm does not suit me.
Andrew Jackson
The safety of the republic being the supreme law, and Texas having offered us the key to the safety of our country from all foreign intrigues and diplomacy, I say accept the key and bolt the door at once.
Andrew Jackson
No free government can stand without virtue in the people, and a lofty spirit of partiotism.
Andrew Jackson
War is a blessing compared with national degradation.
Andrew Jackson
Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error.
Andrew Jackson
