"With a writer's eye, Irving detected Jackson's depths. "As his admirers say, he is truly an old Roman-to which I would add, with a little dash of the Greek; for I suspect he is as knowing as I believe he is honest."

"Always take all the time to reflect that circumstances permit, but when the time for action has come, stop thinking. (Andrew Jackson)"
— Jon Meacham (American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House)

"Jackson was a transformative president in part because he had a transcendent personality; other presidents who followed him were not transformative, and served unremarkably."
