More quotes by Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
No method of procedure has ever been devised by which liberty could be divorced from local self-government. No plan of centralization has ever been adopted which did not result in bureaucracy, tyranny, inflexibility, reaction, and decline.
Calvin Coolidge
Economy is the method by which we prepare today to afford the improvements of tomorrow.
Calvin Coolidge
Honorable Senators: My sincerest thanks I offer you. Conserve the firm foundations of our institutions. Do your work with the spirit of a soldier in the public service. Be loyal to the Commonwealth and to yourselves and be brief above all be brief.
Calvin Coolidge
If you don't say anything, you won't be called on to repeat it.
Calvin Coolidge
Everyone has an influence on public affairs if he will take the trouble to exert it.
Calvin Coolidge
Advertising is the most potent influence in adapting and changing the habits and modes of life affecting what we eat, what we wear, and the work and play of a whole nation.
Calvin Coolidge
This country would not be a land of opportunity, America could not be America, if the people were shackled with government monopolies.
