More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
You can display no greater wisdom than by resisting proposals for needless legislation. It is much more important to kill bad bills than to pass good ones.
Calvin Coolidge
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
Calvin Coolidge
One of the greatest dangers to peace lies in the economic pressure to which people find themselves subjected. One of the most practical things to be done in the world is to seek arrangements under which such pressure may be removed, so that opportunity may be renewed and hope may be revived.
Calvin Coolidge
I always enjoy animal acts.
Calvin Coolidge
When more and more people are thrown out of work, unemployment results.
Calvin Coolidge
There is no substitute for a militant freedom.
Calvin Coolidge
You can't increase prosperity by taxing success.
Calvin Coolidge
I want taxes to be less, that the people may have more.
Calvin Coolidge
We demand entire freedom of action and then expect the government in some miraculous way to save us from the consequences of our own acts.... Self-government means self-reliance.
Calvin Coolidge
If you can get enough votes so that mine will make a majority, you can have it.
Calvin Coolidge
We do not need more knowledge, we need more character!
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
Industry cannot flourish if labor languish.
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
It takes a great man to be a good listener.
Calvin Coolidge
I cannot think of anything characteristically American that was not produced by toil. I cannot think of any American man or woman preeminent in the history of our nation who did not reach their place through toil. I cannot think of anything that represents the American people as a whole so adequately as honest work.
Calvin Coolidge
Whether one traces his Americanism back three centuries to the Mayflower, or three years to the steerage, is not half so important as whether his Americanism of today is real and genuine. No matter by what various crafts we came here, we are all now in the same boat.
Calvin Coolidge
I am for economy. After that I am for more economy. At this time and under present conditions that is my conception of serving all the people.
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
Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.
Calvin Coolidge
