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.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
The individual who refuses to defend his rights when called by his government deserves to be a slave, and must be punished as an enemy of his country and a friend to her foe
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
If congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was given them to use themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
From his proceedings in Congress, he appears demented, and his actings and doings inspire my pity more than anger.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
...secession, like any other REVOLUTIONARY ACT, may be morally justified by the extremity of oppression; but to call it a constitutional right is confounding the meaning of terms...
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
Men do not get up and do mischief, without there is someone in the head of it.

Quote by -Andrew Jackson
After a harassing warfare, prolonged by the nature of the country and by the difficulty of procuring subsistence, the Indians were entirely defeated, and the disaffected band dispersed or destroyed. The result has been creditable to the troops engaged in the service. Severe as is the lesson to the Indians, it was rendered necessary by their unprovoked aggressions, and it is to be hoped that its impression will be permanent and salutary.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
I have only two regrets: I didn't shoot Henry Clay and I didn't hang John C. Calhoun.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
It is pleasing to reflect that results so beneficial, not only to the States immediately concerned, but to the harmony of the Union, will have been accomplished by measures equally advantageous to the Indians. What the native savages become when surrounded by a dense population and by mixing with the whites may be seen in the miserable remnants of a few Eastern tribes, deprived of political and civil rights, forbidden to make contracts, and subjected to guardians, dragging out a wretched existence, without excitement, without hope, and almost without thought.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
The authority of the Supreme Court must not be permitted to control the Congress or the Executive when acting in their legislative capacities, but to have only such influence as the force of their reasoning may deserve.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
I do not promise to believe tomorrow exactly what I believe today, and I do not believe today exactly what I believed yesterday. I expect to make, as I have made, some honest progress within every succeeding twenty-four hours.
Quote by -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?
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
The planter, the farmer, the mechanic, and the laborer...form the great body of the people of the United States they are the bone and sinew of the country men who love liberty and desire nothing but equal rights and equal laws.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
Our brief was to create an environment where people could feel comfortable shopping, dining, relaxing and meeting friends and it is wonderful that our design has been acknowledged in this way.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
I think this is the best way to end the senior year. The awards just keep coming. After the final game ... now it's a couple months down the road. We're still receiving awards for what we've done.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
Oh, yeah. This is a very nice honor to be able to come here. Just the connection ... 150 years of senators ... this place has the original feel to it. It's not your everyday or your year-to-year. It's the state recognizing us. I don't think we could ever have imagined this.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
We made a mistake, and you have to be responsible for your mistakes. If they feel the title shouldn't be here at Burke, then it shouldn't be here. I'm fine with that. You just have to go out there and do it all over again.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
In England the judges should have independence to protect the people against the crown. Here the judges should not be independent of the people, but be appointed for not more than seven years. The people would always re-elect the good judges.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
I am a Senator against my wishes and feelings, which I regret more than any other of my life.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
The safety of the republic being the supreme law, and Texas having offered us the key to the safety of our country from all foreign intrigues and diplomacy, I say accept the key and bolt the door at once.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
Fear not, the people may be deluded for a moment, but cannot be corrupted.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
I would sincerely regret, and which never shall happen whilst I am in office, a military guard around the President.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
We are beginning a new era in our government. I cannot too strongly urge the necessity of a rigid economy and an inflexible determination not to enlarge the income beyond the real necessities of the government.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
Democracy shows not only its power in reforming governments, but in regenerating a race of men and this is the greatest blessing of free governments
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
It is a damn poor mind indeed which can't think of at least two ways to spell any word.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
I cannot consent that my mortal body shall be laid in a repository prepared for an Emperor or a King my republican feelings and principles forbid it the simplicity of our system of government forbids it.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
Americans are not a perfect people, but we are called to a perfect mission.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
Mr. Van Buren, your friends may be leaving you but my friends never leave me.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
I feel in the depths of my soul that it is the highest, most sacred, and most irreversible part of my obligation to preserve the union of these states, although it may cost me my life.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
The wisdom of man never yet contrived a system of taxation that would operate with perfect equality.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson

Quote by -Andrew Jackson
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.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
Unless you become more watchful in your states and check the spirit of monopoly and thirst for exclusive privileges you will in the end find that...the control over your dearest interests has passed into the hands of these corporations.
Quote by -Andrew Jackson
Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and its conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.
