Andrew Jackson - Never take counsel of your fears

By Presidential - Posted on 12 April 2009

Never take counsel of your fears.

There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses.

It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word.
Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.
The wisdom of man never yet contrived a system of taxation that would operate with perfect equality.
