Andrew Jackson Military Quotations

I would sincerely regret, and which never shall happen whilst I am in office, a military guard around the President.

To the victors belong the spoils.

Too much praise cannot be bestowed on those who managed my artillery.

Who are we? And for what are we going to fight? Are we the titled slaves of George the Third? The military conscripts of Napoleon the Great? Or the frozen peasants of the Russian Czar? No -- we are the free born sons of America; the citizens of the only republic now existing in the world; and the only people on earth who possess rights, liberties, and property which they dare call their own.

But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing.
