Education should be the handmaid of citizenship.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
Our government rests upon religion. It is from that source that we derive our reverance for truth and justice, for equality and liberty, and for the rights of mankind. Unless the people believe in these principles they cannot believe in our government.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
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
Image
We have too much legislating by clamor, by tumult, by pressure. Representative government ceases when outside influence of any kind is substituted for the judgment of the representative.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
A wholesome regard for the memory of the great men of long ago is the best assurance to a people of a continuation of great men to come, who shall be able to instruct, to lead, and to inspire. A people who worship at the shrine of true greatness will themselves be truly great.

Nobody will ever forget what I've accomplished.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
Any reward that is worth having only comes to the industrious. The success which is made in any walk of life is measured almost exactly by the amount of hard work that is put into it.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
We have found that when men and women are left free to find the places for which they are best fitted, some few of them will indeed attain less exalted stations than under a regime of privilege but the vast multitude will rise to a higher level, to wider horizons, to worthier attainments.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Calvin Coolidge

The chief business of the American people is business.
Calvin Coolidge

It takes a great man to be a good listener.

No enterprise can exist for itself alone.

Eat it up, make it do, wear it out.
Calvin Coolidge

You can display no greater wisdom than by resisting proposals for needless legislation. It is much more important to kill bad bills than to pass good ones.

The man who builds a factory, builds a temple.
