Jackson

Famous quotes containing the word jackson:

    I find ... virtue to be found amongst the farmers of the country alone, not about courts, where courtiers dwell.

    Trusting as we did to the virtue of the people, the real people, not the politicians and demagogues, we passed through the most responsible and trying scenes, sustained by the bone and sinew of the nation, the laborers of the land, where alone, in these days of Bank rule, and ragocrat corruption, real virtue and love of liberty is to be found.
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
