More quotes by Andrew Jackson

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

Andrew Jackson
It is a well-settled principle of the international code that where one nation owes another a liquidated debt which it refuses or neglects to pay the aggrieved party may seize on the property belonging to the other, its citizens or subjects, sufficient to pay the debt without giving just cause of war.
Andrew Jackson
After eight years as President I have only two regrets: that I have not shot Henry Clay or hanged John C. Calhoun.
Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson
Private property is held sacred in all good governments, and particularly in our own.

A thousand other instances might be cited to show that laws must sometimes be silent when necessity speaks.
Andrew Jackson
I am a Senator against my wishes and feelings, which I regret more than any other of my life.
Andrew Jackson
Although I could lament in the language and feelings of David for Absalom, I am constrained to say, peace to his manes. Let us weep for the living, and not for the dead.

The bank...is trying to kill me, but I will kill it!
Andrew Jackson
