More quotes by Andrew Jackson
Too much praise cannot be bestowed on those who managed my artillery.
Andrew Jackson
It will be my sincere and constant desire to observe toward the Indian tribes within our limits a just and liberal policy, and to give that humane and considerate attention to their rights and their wants which is consistent with the habits of our Government and the feelings of our people.
Andrew Jackson
Heaven will be heaven only if my wife is there.
Andrew Jackson
In a free government the demand for moral qualities should be made superior to that of talents.
Andrew Jackson
Americans are not a perfect people, but we are called to a perfect mission.
Andrew Jackson
The great constitutional corrective in the hands of the people against usurpation of power, or corruption by their agents is the right of suffrage and this when used with calmness and deliberation will prove strong enough.
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
The hydra of corruption is only scotched, not dead. An investigation kills and it and its supporters dead. Let this be had.
Andrew Jackson
I am now eased in my finances and replenished in my wardrobe.
Andrew Jackson
The people are the government, administering it by their agents they are the government, the sovereign power.
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
What good man would prefer a country covered with forests and ranged by a few thousand savages to our extensive Republic, studded with cities, towns, and prosperous farms, embellished with all the improvements which art can devise or industry execute.
Andrew Jackson
I have never in my life seen a Kentuckian who didn't have a gun, a pack of cards, and a jug of whiskey.
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
Live within your means, never be in debt, and by husbanding your money you can always lay it out well.
Andrew Jackson
The Constitution and the laws are supreme and the Union indissoluble.
Andrew Jackson
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
Trusting as we did to the virtue of the people, the real people, not the politicians and demagogues, we passed through the most responsible and trying scenes, sustained by the bone and sinew of the nation, the laborers of the land, where alone, in these days of Bank rule, and ragocrat corruption, real virtue and love of liberty is to be found.
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
You are a den of vipers. I intend to rout you out and by the Eternal God I will rout you out. If the people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system, there would be a revolution before morning.
Andrew Jackson
