More quotes by Andrew Jackson
I am a Senator against my wishes and feelings, which I regret more than any other of my life.
Andrew Jackson
The authority of the Supreme Court must not be permitted to control the Congress or the Executive when acting in their legislative capacities, but to have only such influence as the force of their reasoning may deserve.
Andrew Jackson
The Constitution and the laws are supreme and the Union indissoluble.

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
Democracy shows not only its power in reforming governments, but in regenerating a race of men and this is the greatest blessing of free governments.
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
Internal improvement and the diffusion of knowledge, so far as they can be promoted by the constitutional acts of the Federal Government, are of high importance.
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
The murderer only takes the life of the parent and leaves his character as a goodly heritage to his children, whilst the slanderer takes away his goodly reputation and leaves him a living monument to his children's disgrace.
Andrew Jackson
His [the President's] earnest desire is, that you may perpetuated and preserved as a nation and this he believes can only be doneand secured by your consent to remove to a country beyond the Mississippi.... Where you are, it is not possible you can live contented and happy.
Andrew Jackson
When you get in debt you become a slave.
Andrew Jackson
Freemasonry is a moral order, instituted by virtuous men, with the praiseworthy design of recalling to our remembrance the most sublime truths, in the midst of the most innocent and social pleasures, founded on liberality, brotherly love and charity.
Andrew Jackson
