Image
Government price-fixing once started, has alike no justice and no end. It is an economic folly from which this country has every right to be spared.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
We do not need to import any foreign economic ideas or any foreign government. We had better stick to the American brand of government, the American brand of equality, and the American brand of wages. America had better stay American
Calvin Coolidge

War is the rule of force, and peace is the reign of law.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
The duties which a police officer owes to the state are of a most exacting nature. No one is compelled to choose the profession ofa police officer, but having chosen it, everyone is obliged to live up to the standard of its requirements. To join in that high enterprise means the surrender of much individual freedom.

Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
It is all the more necessary under a system of free government that the people should be enlightened, that they should be correctly informed, than it is under an absolute government that they should be ignorant. Under a republic the institutions of learning, while bound by the constitution and laws, are in no way subservient to the government.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
Human nature provides sufficient distrust of all that is alien, so that there is no need of any artificial supply.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
I shouldn't want you to be surprised, or to draw any particular inference from my making speeches, or not making speeches, out there. I don't recall any candidate for President that ever injured himself very much by not talking.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
In the discharge of the duties of this office, there is one rule of action more important than all others. It consists in never doing anything that someone else can do for you.
