We must regain Texas, peaceably if we can, forcibly if we must.
Andrew Jackson
Image
Peace, above all things, is to be desired, but blood must sometimes be spilled to obtain it on equable and lasting terms.
Andrew Jackson
Image
There is nothing that I shudder at more than the idea of a separation of the Union. Should such an event ever happen, which I fervently pray God to avert, from that date I view our liberty gone.
Andrew Jackson
Image
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.

All who wish to hand down to their children that happy republican system bequeathed to them by their revolutionary fathers, must now take their stand against this consolidating, corrupting money power, and put it down, or their children will become hewers of wood and drawers of water to this aristocratic ragocracy.
Andrew Jackson
Image
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
Image
[The Bible] is the rock on which our Republic rests.
Andrew Jackson
Image
Freemasonry is an institution calculated to benefit mankind.
Andrew Jackson
Image
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
Image
The people are the government, administering it by their agents they are the government, the sovereign power.
Andrew Jackson
Image
There never was a woman like her. She was gentle as a dove and brave as a lioness... The memory of my mother and her teachings were, after all, the only capital I had to start life with, and on that capital I have made my way.
Andrew Jackson
Image
Oh, do not cry - be good children and we will all meet in heaven.
Andrew Jackson
Image
But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing.
Andrew Jackson
Image
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
Image
The hydra of corruption is only scotched, not dead. An investigation kills and it and its supporters dead. Let this be had.

Thomas Paine needs no monument made with hands he has erected a monument in the hearts of all lovers of liberty.
