Andrew Jackson
Give me a thousand Tennesseans, and I'll whip any other thousand men on the globe!

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
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
