That man has offered me unsolicited advice for six years, most of it bad.
Calvin Coolidge
I have found it advisable not to give too much heed to what people say when I am trying to accomplish something of consequence. Invariably they proclaim it can't be done. I deem that the very best time to make the effort.
Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
Education should be the handmaid of citizenship.
Calvin Coolidge
Under our institutions each individual is born to sovereignty. Whatever he may adopt as a means of livelihood, his real business is serving his country. He cannot hold himself above his fellow men.

Calvin Coolidge
It is not the enactment, but the observance of laws, that creates the character of a nation.
Calvin Coolidge
I want taxes to be less, that the people may have more.
Calvin Coolidge
A government which lays taxes on the people not required by urgent public necessity and sound public policy is not a protector of liberty, but an instrument of tyranny. It condemns the citizen to servitude.
Calvin Coolidge
When more and more people are thrown out of work, unemployment results.
Calvin Coolidge
No enterprise can exist for itself alone.
Calvin Coolidge
There is no substitute for a militant freedom.
Calvin Coolidge
Unless we lay our course in accordance with this principle, the great power for good in the world with which we have been intrusted by a Divine Providence will be turned to a power for evil.
Calvin Coolidge
