More quotes by Andrew Jackson
I would sincerely regret, and which never shall happen whilst I am in office, a military guard around the President.
Andrew Jackson
It was settled by the Constitution, the laws, and the whole practice of the government that the entire executive power is vested in the President of the United States.
Andrew Jackson
The Constitution and the laws are supreme and the Union indissoluble.
Andrew Jackson
I say to you never involve yourself in debt, and become no man's surety.
Andrew Jackson
I am one of those who do not believe that a national debt is a national blessing, but rather a curse to a republic inasmuch as it is calculated to raise around the administration a moneyed aristocracy dangerous to the liberties of the country.
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
No free government can stand without virtue in the people, and a lofty spirit of partiotism.
Andrew Jackson
I find virtue to be found amongst the farmers of the country alone, not about courts, where courtiers dwell.
Andrew Jackson
It is a well-settled principle of the international code that where one nation owes another a liquidated debt which it refuses or neglects to pay the aggrieved party may seize on the property belonging to the other, its citizens or subjects, sufficient to pay the debt without giving just cause of war.
Andrew Jackson
You must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessings.
Andrew Jackson
We are beginning a new era in our government. I cannot too strongly urge the necessity of a rigid economy and an inflexible determination not to enlarge the income beyond the real necessities of the government.
Andrew Jackson
In this point of the case the question is distinctly presented whether the people of the United States are to govern through representatives chosen by their unbiased suffrages or whether the money and power of a great corporation are to be secretly exerted to influence their judgment and control their decisions.
Andrew Jackson
Being the dependents of the general government, and looking to its treasury as the source of all their emoluments, the state officers, under whatever names they might pass and by whatever forms their duties might be prescribed, would in effect be the mere stipendiaries and instruments of the central power.
Andrew Jackson
In a free government the demand for moral qualities should be made superior to that of talents.
Andrew Jackson
If a warden sees cigarette litter being thrown from a car, they will take the number and trace the owner to send them a fine.
Andrew Jackson
Perpetuity is stamped upon the Constitution by the blood of our fathers.
Andrew Jackson
I weep for the liberty of my country when I see at this early day of its successful experiment that corruption has been imputed to many members of the House of Representatives, and the rights of the people have been bartered for promises of office.
Andrew Jackson
Temporize not! It is always injurious.
Andrew Jackson
Live within your means, never be in debt, and by husbanding your money you can always lay it out well.
Andrew Jackson
I could not do otherwise without transcending the limits prescribed by the Constitution for the President and without feeling that I might in some degree disturb the security which religion nowadays enjoys in this country in its complete separation from the political concerns of the General Government.
Andrew Jackson
