Andrew Jackson

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

Andrew Jackson
The President is the direct representative of the American people and is elected by the people and responsible to them.
Andrew Jackson
I feel in the depths of my soul that it is the highest, most sacred, and most irreversible part of my obligation to preserve the union of these states, although it may cost me my life.
Andrew Jackson
War is a blessing compared with national degradation.
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
The hydra of corruption is only scotched, not dead. An investigation kills and it and its supporters dead. Let this be had.
Andrew Jackson
In a country where offices are created solely for the benefit of the people no one man has any more intrinsic right to official station than another.
Andrew Jackson
