More quotes by 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
As I went about with my father, when he collected taxes, I knew that when taxes were laid someone had to work hard to earn the money to pay them.
Calvin Coolidge
We do not need to import any foreign economic ideas or any foreign government. We had better stick to the American brand of government, the American brand of equality, and the American brand of wages. America had better stay American

Calvin Coolidge
Prosperity cannot be divorced from humanity.
Calvin Coolidge
America's present need is not heroics, but healing not nostrums, but normalcy not revolution, but restoration not agitation, but adjustment not surgery, but serenity not the dramatic, but the dispassionate not experiment, but equipoise not submergence in internationality, but sustainment in triumphant nationality.
Calvin Coolidge
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
Never go out to meet trouble. If you just sit still, nine cases out of ten, someone will intercept it before it reaches you.
Calvin Coolidge
American ideals do not require to be changed so much as they require to be understood and applied.
Calvin Coolidge
These things do not happen by chance. There is much less luck in public affairs than some suppose.
Calvin Coolidge
America... Cherishes no purpose save to merit the favor of Almighty God.
Calvin Coolidge
Money will not purchase character or good government.
Calvin Coolidge
In life there is nothing more common than talent and intelligence. What is missing is passion, persistence, commitment, and dedication.
