More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
Unless the people, through unified action, arise and take charge of their government, they will find that their government has taken charge of them. Independence and liberty will be gone, and the general public will find itself in a condition of servitude to an aggregation of organized and selfish interest.
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
I do not choose to run for President in 1928.
Calvin Coolidge
We need not concern ourselves much about rights of property if we faithfully observe the rights of persons.
Calvin Coolidge
We draw our Presidents from the people. It is a wholesome thing for them to return to the people. I came from them. I wish to be one of them again.
Calvin Coolidge
As I went about with my father, when he collected taxes, I knew that when taxes were laid someone had to work hard to earn the money to pay them.
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
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
There is no justification for public interference with purely private concerns.
Calvin Coolidge
Industry cannot flourish if labor languish.
Calvin Coolidge
When people are bewildered they tend to become credulous.
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
The Jews themselves, of whom a considerable number were already scattered throughout the colonies, were true to the teachings of their prophets. The Jewish faith is predominantly the faith of liberty.
Calvin Coolidge
These things do not happen by chance. There is much less luck in public affairs than some suppose.
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
Teaching is one of the noblest of professions. It requires an adequate preparation and training, patience, devotion, and a deep sense of responsibility. Those who mold the human mind have wrought not for time, but for eternity.
Calvin Coolidge
If American democracy is to remain the greatest hope of humanity, it must continue abundantly in the faith of the Bible
Calvin Coolidge
Realizing that we can not live unto ourselves alone, we have contributed of our resources and our counsel to the relief of the suffering and the settlement of the disputes among the European nations. Because of what America is and what America has done, a firmer courage, a higher hope, inspires the heart of all humanity.
Calvin Coolidge
Men speak of natural rights, but I challenge any one to show where in nature any rights existed or were recognized until there was established for their declaration and protection a duly promulgated body of corresponding laws.
Calvin Coolidge
American ideals do not require to be changed so much as they require to be understood and applied.
Calvin Coolidge
