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

Andrew Jackson
Desperate courage makes One a majority.
Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson
Americans are not a perfect people, but we are called to a perfect mission.
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.
