Calvin Coolidge
There is no escaping the fact that when the taxation of large incomes is excessive, they tend to disappear.
Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
I have never been hurt by what I have not said.
Calvin Coolidge
Any reward that is worth having only comes to the industrious. The success which is made in any walk of life is measured almost exactly by the amount of hard work that is put into it.
Calvin Coolidge
