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
If you don't say anything, you won't be called on to repeat it.
Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind.
Calvin Coolidge
In other periods of depression, it has always been possible to see some things which were solid and upon which you could base hope, but as I look about, I now see nothing to give ground to hope-nothing of man.
