Claim: alleges that President Andrew Jackson once stated, "One man with courage makes a majority." (Viral quote, 2019-08-15)
Evidence (2017-10-19): Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, once said, "One man with courage makes a majority." This powerful quote speaks to the idea that individual strength and bravery can help to inspire and motivate others, creating a sense of unity and purpose. Jackson’s words remind us that true leadership requires courage, conviction, and a willingness to stand up for what is right, even when it is difficult or unpopular. At its core, Jackson’s quote speaks to the power of individual action. When one person has the courage to stand up for what they believe in, they can inspire others to do the same. This is the basis of movements for social change, where one person’s act of bravery can spark a revolution of ideas and values. From Mahatma Gandhi to Martin Luther King Jr., history is full of examples of individual leaders who have inspired and mobilized millions of people through their words and actions. [...] Ultimately, Jackson’s quote speaks to the power of individual agency. We all have the capacity to make a difference in the world, to stand up for what we believe in, and to inspire others through our example. It may not always be easy or glamorous, but by embodying the courage and conviction that Jackson describes, we can create a ripple effect of positive change that will reverberate far beyond our own individual actions. One man with courage truly can make a majority, and by embodying these values, we can help to shape a better world for ourselves and for future generations.

Evidence (2019-03-13): Re "The greatest thing Andrew Jackson never said," Opinion, Jan. 26 Professor Daniel Feller’s article does an excellent job of tracing the quotation "One man with courage makes a majority" back to James Parton’s 1860 biography of Andrew Jackson, which prominently used the epigraph "Desperate Courage Makes One a Majority." In the course of compiling the recently published Yale Book of Quotations (Yale University Press), I developed innovative techniques of researching quotation origins. Using these techniques, I find an earlier usage of "Desperate courage makes one a majority." This sentence appeared in an anonymous article, titled "Physical Courage," in the Atlantic Monthly in November 1858.

Evidence (2021-12-08): Quotation: "One man with courage is a majority." [...] Comments: This quotation has not been found in the writings of Thomas Jefferson. The headline quotation, "one man with courage is a majority," is most often attributed to Jefferson, but its listed variation, "one with courage makes a majority," is more often attributed to Andrew Jackson. That attribution is likely also spurious. Other similar variations have been positively traced to other sources.[2]

Evidence (2022-01-01): Many political issues separated Jackson from Calhoun, his Vice President. One was the issue of states rights. Hoping for sympathy from President Jackson, Calhoun and the other states-rights party members sought to trap Jackson into a pro-states-rights public pronouncement at a Jefferson birthday celebration in April 1832. Some of the guests gave toasts which sought to establish a connection between a states-rights view of government and nullification. Finally, Jackson's turn to give a toast came, and he rose and challenged those present, "Our Federal Union — It must be preserved." Calhoun then rose and stated, "The Union — next to our liberty, the most dear!" Jackson had humiliated Calhoun in public. The nullification crisis that would follow served as the last straw. Jackson proved that he was unafraid to stare down his enemies, no matter what position they might hold.

Evidence (2020-01-13): Andrew Jackson was the first president from west of the Appalachian Mountains. He was the beneficiary and purported leader of a significant political movement later called "Jacksonian Democracy" to denote the change from gentry control of American politics to broader popular participation. As president, Jackson enlarged the power and scope of the office with the innovative use of the veto power. He earned plaudits for quashing a serious sectional threat to the American Union in the Nullification crisis of 1833, but his controversial program to relocate southeastern Indians to regions west of the Mississippi River, a policy known as Indian removal, evoked the condemnation of humanitarians at the time and tarnishes his reputation to this day. [...] Leaving behind Charleston’s expensive pastimes for more sedate Salisbury, North Carolina, Jackson resolved to become a lawyer. In the 1780s on the American frontier, the profession required more courage than erudition. Lawyers often had to face down prickly clients and pugnacious colleagues while pleading before makeshift courts. Legal training consisted of clerking duties that exposed a student to proper comportment as much as to statutes. Jackson performed such functions first for Spruce Macay and then John Stokes. In addition to gaining a friend in fellow student John McNairy, Jackson gained admittance to the North Carolina bar in September 1787.

Evidence (2020-05-18): Born in poverty, Andrew Jackson (1767-1845) had become a wealthy Tennessee lawyer and rising young politician by 1812, when war broke out between the United States and Britain. His leadership in that conflict earned Jackson national fame as a military hero, and he would become America’s most influential–and polarizing–political figure during the 1820s and 1830s. [...] Jackson’s popularity led to suggestions that he run for president. At first, he professed no interest in the office, but by 1824 his boosters had rallied enough support to get him a nomination as well as a seat in the U.S. Senate. In a five-way race, Jackson won the popular vote, but for the first time in history, no candidate received a majority of electoral votes.

Evidence (1998-12-10): Counsel charged on September 9th. It was not what majority counsel alleged on October 5th, and it is a dangerous precedent. Given statements from President Roosevelt's failure to remember that he promised military support for Panama in its conflict with Colombia over the canal, to President Reagan's failures to remember how funds flowed to the Contras, this committee should not make Presidential lapses of memory into impeachable offenses or the office could go vacant forever.

"Courage comes in both genders and I'm running for the U.S. Senate because I'll fight every day to make our Republican majority act like one," she said.

Evidence (2018-08-29): "Jacksonians," as the president’s supporters were called, were also quick to smell a conspiracy. Shortly after Lawrence was taken into custody, accusations began to fly suggesting he was in cahoots with a seemingly endless list of the president’s political foes. Jackson was among the many who believed a plot was afoot—some reports have him yelling "I know where this came from!" during the attack—and he soon accused Whig Senator George Poindexter of having hired Lawrence to gun him down. "He would have attempted it himself long ago if he had had the courage," he supposedly added. Jackson even produced affidavits from two men who claimed to have seen Lawrence visit the senator’s home, but both witnesses were proven unreliable. Poindexter was easily cleared of any wrongdoing, and Jackson’s opponents had a field day with what they considered a failed attempt to destroy a political rival. In a scathing report, Niles’ Weekly Register characterized the affair as the "foulest and filthiest tissue of wicked and willful falsehoods that ever was stewed-up to feed the morbid appetites of the basest of mankind…"

Evidence (2008-01-01): And whereas the said ordinance prescribes to the people of South Carolina a course of conduct in direct violation of their duty as citizens of the United States, contrary to the laws of their country, subversive of its Constitution, and having for its object the instruction of the Union-that Union, which, coeval with our political existence, led our fathers, without any other ties to unite them than those of patriotism and common cause, through the sanguinary struggle to a glorious independence-that sacred Union, hitherto inviolate, which, perfected by our happy Constitution, has brought us, by the favor of Heaven, to a state of prosperity at home, and high consideration abroad, rarely, if ever, equaled in the history of nations; to preserve this bond of our political existence from destruction, to maintain inviolate this state of national honor and prosperity, and to justify the confidence my fellow-citizens have reposed in me, I, Andrew Jackson, President of the United States, have thought proper to issue this my PROCLAMATION, stating my views of the Constitution and laws applicable to the measures adopted by the Convention of South Carolina, and to the reasons they have put forth to sustain them, declaring the course which

He also played for the Yankees and Marlins, albeit less prominently, and nine years in Japan before his MLB debut in 2001. [...] Shortly after retiring, Ichiro began as a special advisor to the Mariners, essentially serving as an assistant coach during Spring Training and most home games during the regular season. When he’s working, he’s almost always in full uniform and going at maximum physical effort, whether running the bases, shagging fly balls or everything in between. But he’s never wanted to be an imposing figure.

Evidence (2022-08-28): Between Japan and the United States, Ichiro Suzuki was a professional baseball player for almost three decades. Widely regarded for his longevity, dependability and for being one of the best pure hitters of all time — Suzuki is a living baseball legend. Suzuki spent most of his career playing with the Mariners. In his time in the Pacific Northwest, Suzuki became a Seattle sports icon and one of the best all-around superstars in MLB history. After playing his last few games in his native Japan, Suzuki’s storybook career ended roughly three years ago. On Saturday evening, before a game against the Guardians, the Mariners paid tribute to Suzuki by inducting him into the team’s Hall of Fame. But that wasn’t all they did on "Ichiro Weekend."

Evidence (2019-03-21): Ichiro began his storied Major League career with Seattle in 2001 as the first Japanese position player to ever play in the Major Leagues. Overall, he spent 14 seasons of his 19-year MLB career with the Mariners, becoming a 10-time All-Star, 10-time Gold Glove Winner, 3-time Silver Slugger Winner, 2001 AL Rookie of the Year and 2001 AL Most Valuable Player, all with Seattle. He won AL batting titles in 2001 and 2004 on his way to 10 consecutive seasons with at least 200 hits – a Major League record – including a single-season Major League record 262 hits in 2004. Ichiro retired as the active Major League hits leader, ranking 21st all-time in MLB history with 3,089. He is one of seven players all-time to collect at least 3,000 hits and 500 stolen bases in the Major Leagues.

USA Today Sports first reported Monday that Ichiro and the Mariners were close to a one-year major league deal. [...] Ichiro was a 10-time All-Star during his 11-plus years with the Mariners from 2001 to 2012. He is the franchise's all-time leader in batting average (.322) and hits (2,533).

Evidence (2010-09-17): September 17, 2010You don't have to be a fan of the Seattle Mariners to be a fan of Ichiro Suzuki. After all, Ichiro is approaching his record tenth 200-hit season, and also his 10th season leading the league in singles. No one else has more than four. [...] "Chicks who dig home runs aren’t the ones who appeal to me," he said. "I think there’s sexiness in infield hits because they require technique. I’d rather impress the chicks with my technique than with my brute strength. Then, every now and then, just to show I can do that, too, I might flirt a little by hitting one out." However, the appeal of Ichiro, and of the infield hit, has not been universally felt. Some, including former teammates, have called Ichiro "selfish." After all, he's been known to reach out of the zone for plenty of pitches, slapping them the other way for infield singles.

Evidence (2021-09-14): The Mariners’ front office, led at the time by general manager Woody Woodward, was skeptical of how Ichiro’s skill set would translate to the U.S. But Colborn knew that the outfielder was special. During one season, Colborn remembers Ichiro swinging just 11 times over a four-game series, and barreling the ball on every swing. "It was stuff like that that I could pass on to help convince them," Colborn says of the Seattle execs. [...] Throughout the summer, the Mariners also took advantage of their geographic location, catering to Japanese fans with weekend ticket packages and accommodations. For many, Ichiro wasn’t just a baseball player; he was a transcendent figure who demanded to be seen in person. "The tourist industry experienced this huge boom because people would fly there and stay in a hotel and take in two or three Mariners games and then come back. It was the thing to do," Whiting says. "There was an arrogance there, like going to Paris and seeing the Eiffel Tower."

Evidence (2022-08-23): SEATTLE, Wash. — Years before he would make his entrance into Major League Baseball, Japanese outfielder Ichiro Suzuki, then 22, made a trip stateside. Sporting a "Tom and Jerry" sweater and a giant grin, he met with NBA legend Michael Jordan in Chicago and sat in on the Bulls' practice. Jordan’s work ethic that day, Suzuki said, remains unforgettable. [...] Now, more than a quarter century later, Suzuki himself is set to be inducted into the Seattle Mariners' Hall of Fame this coming weekend, the first Asian player in the team’s history to do so. Suzuki — more popularly known as Ichiro — is also widely expected to become the first Asian player inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown when he becomes eligible in 2025. [...] Suzuki, 48, will be honored in a series of events this weekend. He retired with the Mariners in 2019 at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, leaving the field to a standing ovation, and has nearly three decades of playing experiences to look back on.
