12 of Old Hickory's Best Lines


Mental Floss has this gem from President Andrew Jackson:
The day after Van Buren was elected president, Jackson took the time to reflect on his own presidency with a friend. When asked if he had any regrets about the last eight years, this was his response: “[That] I didn’t shoot Henry Clay and I didn’t hang John C. Calhoun.”
Imagine that.
