More quotes by Andrew Jackson
Mere precedent is a dangerous source of authority.
Andrew Jackson
To extraordinary powers of labor, both mental and physical, he unites that tact and judgement which are requisite to the successful direction of such an office as that of Chief Magistrate of a free people.
Andrew Jackson
The bank...is trying to kill me, but I will kill it!
Andrew Jackson
From his proceedings in Congress, he appears demented, and his actings and doings inspire my pity more than anger.
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
Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and its conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.
Andrew Jackson
You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out.
Andrew Jackson
The Judas of the West has closed the contract and will receive the thirty pieces of silver. . . . Was there ever witnessed such a bare faced corruption in any country before?
Andrew Jackson
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.
Andrew Jackson
Go to the Scriptures... the joyful promises it contains will be a balsam to all your troubles.
Andrew Jackson
If a warden sees cigarette litter being thrown from a car, they will take the number and trace the owner to send them a fine.
Andrew Jackson
Do they think that I am such a damned fool as to think myself fit for President of the United States? No, sir I know what I am fit for. I can command a body of men in a rough way, but I am not fit to be President.
Andrew Jackson
Live within your means, never be in debt, and by husbanding your money you can always lay it out well. But when you get in debt you become a slave. Therefore I say to you never involve yourself in debt, and become no man's surety.
Andrew Jackson
The bold effort the present (central) bank had made to control the government ... are but premonitions of the fate that await the American people should they be deluded into a perpetuation of this institution or the establishment of another like it.
Andrew Jackson
The safety of the republic being the supreme law, and Texas having offered us the key to the safety of our country from all foreign intrigues and diplomacy, I say accept the key and bolt the door at once.
Andrew Jackson
I consider, then, the power to annul a law of the United States, assumed by one state, incompatible with the existence of the Union, contradicted expressly by the letter of the Constitution, unauthorized by its spirit, inconsistent with every principle on which it was founded, and destructive of the great object for which it was formed.
Andrew Jackson
I trust in due time to lay the perfidy, meanness, and wickedness of [Henry] Clay naked before the American people. I have lately got an intimation of some of his secret movements, which, if I can reach with positive and responsible proof, I will wield to his political, and perhaps his actual, destruction.
Andrew Jackson
I say to you never involve yourself in debt, and become no man's surety.
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
People are my religion/Because I believe in them.
Andrew Jackson
