More quotes by Andrew Jackson
We must regain Texas, peaceably if we can, forcibly if we must.
Andrew Jackson
There are only two things I can't give up one is coffee and the other is tobacco.
Andrew Jackson
No free government can stand without virtue in the people, and a lofty spirit of partiotism.
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
I have only two regrets: I didn't shoot Henry Clay and I didn't hang John C. Calhoun.
Andrew Jackson
I am now eased in my finances and replenished in my wardrobe.
Andrew Jackson
I hope and trust to meet you in Heaven, both white and black-both white and black.
Andrew Jackson
War is a blessing compared with national degradation.
Andrew Jackson
As long as our government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will as long as it secures to us the rights of person and property, liberty of conscience, and of the press, it will be worth defending.
Andrew Jackson
Mere precedent is a dangerous source of authority.
Andrew Jackson
I find virtue to be found amongst the farmers of the country alone, not about courts, where courtiers dwell.
Andrew Jackson
There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses. If it would confine itself to equal protection, and, as Heaven does its rains, shower its favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing.
Andrew Jackson
Temporize not! It is always injurious.
Andrew Jackson
The brave man, inattentive to his duty, is worth little more to his country than the coward who deserts her in the hour of danger.
Andrew Jackson
The Supreme Court has made its decision, now let them enforce it.
Andrew Jackson
I was born for a storm and a calm does not suit me.
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
I carried $5000 when I went to Washington. I returned with barely $90 in our pockets.
Andrew Jackson
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
The President is the direct representative of the American people and is elected by the people and responsible to them.
Andrew Jackson
