You can't know too much, but you can say too much.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
A wholesome regard for the memory of the great men of long ago is the best assurance to a people of a continuation of great men to come, who shall be able to instruct, to lead, and to inspire. A people who worship at the shrine of true greatness will themselves be truly great.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
We have found that when men and women are left free to find the places for which they are best fitted, some few of them will indeed attain less exalted stations than under a regime of privilege but the vast multitude will rise to a higher level, to wider horizons, to worthier attainments.

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

The appropriation of public money always is perfectly lovely until some one is asked to pay the bill. If we are to have a billion dollars of navy, half a billion of farm relief, etc... the people will have to furnish more revenue by paying more taxes. It is for them, through their Congress, to decide how far they wish to go.
Calvin Coolidge

Those who trust to chance must abide by the results of chance.

Changing a college curriculum is like moving a graveyard-you never know how many friends the dead have until you try to move them!
Calvin Coolidge
Image
I have noticed that nothing I never said ever did me any harm.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
If we judge ourselves only by our aspirations and everyone else only their conduct we shall soon reach a very false conclusion.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
The right thing to do never requires any subterfuge, it is always simple and direct.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
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
Image
Everyone has an influence on public affairs if he will take the trouble to exert it.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
Our government rests upon religion. It is from that source that we derive our reverance for truth and justice, for equality and liberty, and for the rights of mankind. Unless the people believe in these principles they cannot believe in our government.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
When a man begins to feel that he is the only one who can lead in this republic, he is guilty of treason to the spirit of our institutions.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
It is a great advantage to a President, and a major source of safety to the country, for him to know he is not a great man.
