A Bit of Wisdom from Andrew Jackson

Nashville, TN…Andrew Jackson, March 15, 1767 – June 8, 1845 General & Seventh President of the United States from 1829 to 1837.

“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.”

“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 is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.”

“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.”

“Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error.”

“Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.”

“I have always been afraid of banks.”
