More quotes by 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
Unless we lay our course in accordance with this principle, the great power for good in the world with which we have been intrusted by a Divine Providence will be turned to a power for evil.
Calvin Coolidge
The man who builds a factory, builds a temple.
Calvin Coolidge
I have never been hurt by what I have not said.
Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
Silence can never be misquoted.
Calvin Coolidge
They criticize me for harping on the obvious if all the folks in the United States would do the few simple things they know they ought to do, most of our big problems would take care of themselves.
Calvin Coolidge
Changing a college curriculum is like moving a graveyard-you never know how many friends the dead have until you try to move them!
Calvin Coolidge
Those who trust to chance must abide by the results of chance.
Calvin Coolidge
No enterprise can exist for itself alone.
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
Eat it up, make it do, wear it out.
Calvin Coolidge
I do not choose to run for President in 1928.
Calvin Coolidge
We do not need more knowledge, we need more character!
Calvin Coolidge
