| Worth his weight in gold... (PD) |
From cradle to grave, Jackson was imbued with a strong set of beliefs. He was “raised a strict Presbyterian,” was not particularly religious as a young adult, “but became progressively more so” as time went on.
Staunch as Jackson could be about doctrine, he was equally staunch about separation of church and state. He also “preached
religious tolerance,” at least among Christians of different denominations.
Some better-known Jackson quotes are as follows:
The Bible is the rock
on which this Republic rests.
You must pay the price
if you wish to secure the
blessing.
One man with courage
makes a majority.
Americans are not a
perfect people, but we are called to a
perfect mission.
And on his deathbed:
What is the matter
with my dear children, have I alarmed you? Oh, do not cry – be good children and we
will all meet in heaven.
