Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
War is the rule of force, and peace is the reign of law.
Calvin Coolidge
If the people fail to vote, a government will be developed which is not their government... The whole system of American Government rests on the ballot box. Unless citizens perform their duties there, such a system of government is doomed to failure.
Calvin Coolidge
