More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
Patriotism is easy to understand in America. It means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country.
Calvin Coolidge
I want taxes to be less, that the people may have more.
Calvin Coolidge
In a republic the first rule for the guidance of the citizen is obedience of the law.
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
America... Cherishes no purpose save to merit the favor of Almighty God.
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
Human nature provides sufficient distrust of all that is alien, so that there is no need of any artificial supply.
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
The property of the people belongs to the people. To take it from them by taxation cannot be justified except by urgent public necessity. Unless this principle be recognized our country is no longer secure, our people no longer free.
Calvin Coolidge
Whenever I indulge my sense of humor, it gets me into trouble.
Calvin Coolidge
Honorable Senators: My sincerest thanks I offer you. Conserve the firm foundations of our institutions. Do your work with the spirit of a soldier in the public service. Be loyal to the Commonwealth and to yourselves and be brief above all be brief.
Calvin Coolidge
If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions.
Calvin Coolidge
When people are bewildered they tend to become credulous.
Calvin Coolidge
To place your name by gift or bequest in the keeping of an active educational institution is to...make a permanent contribution to the welfare of humanity.
Calvin Coolidge
There is no substitute for a militant freedom.
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
Not long ago I heard a Navy chaplain refer to the sage advice of the Apostle to put first things first...If we are to heed the admonition to put first things first...one of the main essentials which lies at the very beginning of civilization is that of security.
Calvin Coolidge
Don't hesitate to be as revolutionary as science. Don't hesitate to be as reactionary as the multiplication table.
Calvin Coolidge
We are too solicitous for government intervention, on the theory, first, that the people themselves are helpless, and second, that the Government has superior capacity for action. Often times both of these conclusions are wrong.
Calvin Coolidge
It is very difficult to reconcile the American ideal of a sovereign people capable of owning and managing their own government with an inability to own and manage their own business.
Calvin Coolidge
