More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
We live an age of science and of abounding accumulation of material things. These did not create the Declaration. Our Declaration created them. ... If we are to maintain the great heritage which has been bequeathed to us, we must be like-minded as the fathers who created it.
Calvin Coolidge
If the people lose control of the arteries of trade and the natural sources of mechanical power, the nationalization of all industry should soon be expected. Our forefathers were alert to resist all encroachments upon their rights. If we wish to maintain our rights, we can do no less.
Calvin Coolidge
A colored man is precisely as much entitled to submit his candidacy in a party primary, as is any other citizen. The decision must be made by the constituents to whom he offers himself, and by nobody else.
Calvin Coolidge
Money will not purchase character or good government.
Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
[The political mind] is a strange mixture of vanity and timidity, of an obsequious attitude at one time and a delusion of grandeurat another time. The political mind is the product of men in public life who have been twice spoiled. They have been spoiled with praise and they have been spoiled with abuse.
Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
Nobody will ever forget what I've accomplished.
Calvin Coolidge
America... Cherishes no purpose save to merit the favor of Almighty God.
Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
Few people are lacking in capacity, but they fail because they are lacking in application.
Calvin Coolidge
The welfare of the weakest and the welfare of the most powerful are inseparably bound together. ... The general welfare cannot be provided for in any one act, but it is well to remember that the benefit of one is the benefit of all, and the neglect of one is the neglect of all.
Calvin Coolidge
Whether one traces his Americanism back three centuries to the Mayflower, or three years to the steerage, is not half so important as whether his Americanism of today is real and genuine. No matter by what various crafts we came here, we are all now in the same boat.
Calvin Coolidge
All growth depends upon activity.
Calvin Coolidge
Perhaps one of the most important accomplishments of my administration has been minding my own business.
Calvin Coolidge
The danger to America is not in the direction of the failure to maintain its economic position, but in the direction of the failure to maintain its ideals.
Calvin Coolidge
We need not concern ourselves much about rights of property if we faithfully observe the rights of persons.
Calvin Coolidge
If you don't say anything, you won't be called on to repeat it.
Calvin Coolidge
