Andrew Jackson
Seventh President of the United States
Liberty
"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."
Divine Providence
"The Bible is the foundation upon which our republic rests."
"You have the highest of human trusts committed to your care.
Providence has showered on this favored land blessings without number,
and has chosen you as the guardians of freedom, to preserve it for the
benefit of the human race. May He who holds in his hands the destinies
of nations, make you worthy of the favors He has bestowed, and enabled
you with pure hearts and hands and sleepless vigilance, to guard and
defend to the end of time, the great charge He has committed to your
keeping."
