More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
These things do not happen by chance. There is much less luck in public affairs than some suppose.
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
Teaching is one of the noblest of professions. It requires an adequate preparation and training, patience, devotion, and a deep sense of responsibility. Those who mold the human mind have wrought not for time, but for eternity.
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
The man who builds a factory, builds a temple.
Calvin Coolidge
Under our institutions each individual is born to sovereignty. Whatever he may adopt as a means of livelihood, his real business is serving his country. He cannot hold himself above his fellow men. The greatest place of command is really the place of obedience, and the greatest place of honor is really the place of service.
Calvin Coolidge

There's more, much more, to Christmas Than candlelight and cheer It's the spirit of sweet friendship That brightens all year. It's thoughtfulness and kindness, It's hope reborn again, For peace, for understanding, And for goodwill to men!
Calvin Coolidge
We cannot weaken or destroy political parties in ther United States without weakening or destroying the rule of the people.... Those who support party organization and submit to party discipline are supporting the only course yet discovered for orderly government by the people.
Calvin Coolidge
Perhaps one of the most important accomplishments of my administration has been minding my own business.
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
That man has offered me unsolicited advice for six years, most of it bad.
Calvin Coolidge
War is the rule of force, and peace is the reign of law.
Calvin Coolidge
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.
Calvin Coolidge
Surprisingly few men are lacking in capacity, but they fail because... they are too indolent to apply themselves with the seriousness and the attention that is necessary to solve important problems.
Calvin Coolidge
