Image
Heaven will be no heaven to me if I do not meet my wife there.
Andrew Jackson
Image
Mischief springs from the power which the moneyed interest derives from a paper currency which they are able to control, from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges... which are employed altogether for their benefit.
Andrew Jackson
Image
Elevate those guns a little lower.
Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson
Image
I am fearful that the paper system will ruin the state. Its demoralizing effects are already seen and spoken of everywhere. I therefore protest against receiving any of that trash.
Andrew Jackson
Image
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
Image
Live within your means, never be in debt, and by husbanding your money you can always lay it out well.
Andrew Jackson
Image
Corporations have neither bodies to kick, nor souls to damn.
Andrew Jackson
Image
I could not do otherwise without transcending the limits prescribed by the Constitution for the President and without feeling that I might in some degree disturb the security which religion nowadays enjoys in this country in its complete separation from the political concerns of the General Government.
Andrew Jackson
Image
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
Image
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
Image
John Calhoun, if you secede from my nation I will secede your head from the rest of your body.
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
From his proceedings in Congress, he appears demented, and his actings and doings inspire my pity more than anger.
