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
Image
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

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
Image
Thomas Paine needs no monument made with hands he has erected a monument in the hearts of all lovers of liberty.
Andrew Jackson
Image
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
Image
Corporations have neither bodies to kick, nor souls to damn.
Andrew Jackson
Image
In England the judges should have independence to protect the people against the crown. Here the judges should not be independent of the people, but be appointed for not more than seven years. The people would always re-elect the good judges.
Andrew Jackson
Image
I am fearful that the paper system will ruin the state. Its demoralizing effects are already seen and spoken of everywhere. I therefore protest against receiving any of that trash.
Andrew Jackson
Image
All the rights secured to the citizens under the Constitution are worth nothing, and a mere bubble, except guaranteed to them by an independent and virtuous Judiciary.
Andrew Jackson
Image
Toward the aborigines of the country no one can indulge a more friendly feeling than myself, or would go further in attempting to reclaim them from their wandering habits and make them a happy, prosperous people.

John Calhoun, if you secede from my nation I will secede your head from the rest of your body.
