Our government is founded upon the intelligence of the people. I for one do not despair of the republic. I have great confidence in the virtue of the great majority of the people, and I cannot fear the result. – Andrew Jackson
Fear not, the people may be deluded for a moment, but cannot be corrupted. – Andrew Jackson
It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their own selfish purposes. – Andrew Jackson
As long as our government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will as long as it secures to us the rights of persons and of property, liberty of conscience and of the press, it will be worth defending. – Andrew Jackson
