More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
The centralization of power in Washington, which nearly all members of Congress deplore in their speech and then support by their votes, steadily increases.
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
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
If American democracy is to remain the greatest hope of humanity, it must continue abundantly in the faith of the Bible
Calvin Coolidge
The danger to America is not in the direction of the failure to maintain its economic position, but in the direction of the failure to maintain its ideals.
Calvin Coolidge
A government which lays taxes on the people not required by urgent public necessity and sound public policy is not a protector of liberty, but an instrument of tyranny. It condemns the citizen to servitude.
Calvin Coolidge
The doctrine of the Declaration of Independence predicated upon the glory of man and the corresponding duty to society that the rights of citizens ought to be protected with every power and resource of the state, and a government that does any less is false to the teachings of that great document - false to the name American.
Calvin Coolidge
Eat it up, make it do, wear it out.
Calvin Coolidge
It is much more important to kill bad bills than to pass good ones.
Calvin Coolidge
Faith is the great motive power, and no man realizes his full possibilities unless he has the deep conviction that life is eternally important and that his work well done is a part of an unending plan.
Calvin Coolidge
A colored man is precisely as much entitled to submit his candidacy in a party primary, as is any other citizen. The decision must be made by the constituents to whom he offers himself, and by nobody else.
Calvin Coolidge
We cannot permit any inquisition either within or without the law or apply any religious test to the holding of office. The mind of America must be forever free.
Calvin Coolidge
There is far more danger of harm than there is hope of good in any radical changes.
Calvin Coolidge
The fundamental precept of liberty is toleration.
Calvin Coolidge
It seems to me probable that of all our economic life the element on which we are inclined to place too low an estimate is advertising.
Calvin Coolidge
Industry cannot flourish if labor languish.
Calvin Coolidge
Wealth comes from industry and from the hard experience of human toil. To dissipate it in waste and extravagance is disloyalty to humanity.
Calvin Coolidge
It is not the enactment, but the observance of laws, that creates the character of a nation.
Calvin Coolidge
The door of opportunity swings wide open in our country. Through it, in constant flow, go those who toil. America recognizes no aristocracy save those who work. The badge of service is the sole requirement for admission to the ranks of our nobility.
Calvin Coolidge
The duties which a police officer owes to the state are of a most exacting nature. No one is compelled to choose the profession ofa police officer, but having chosen it, everyone is obliged to live up to the standard of its requirements. To join in that high enterprise means the surrender of much individual freedom.
Calvin Coolidge
