Calvin Coolidge

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

The Government can supply no substitute for enterprise.
Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
No man ever listened himself out of a job.
Calvin Coolidge
Silence can never be misquoted.
Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
The Constitution is the sole source and guaranty of national freedom.
Calvin Coolidge
We do not need more knowledge, we need more character!
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
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
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 display of reason rather than a threat of force should be the determining factor in the intercourse among nations.
Calvin Coolidge
