More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
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
Money will not purchase character or good government.
Calvin Coolidge
Human nature provides sufficient distrust of all that is alien, so that there is no need of any artificial supply.
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
If we judge ourselves only by our aspirations and everyone else only their conduct we shall soon reach a very false conclusion.
Calvin Coolidge
The right thing to do never requires any subterfuge, it is always simple and direct.
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
When more and more people are thrown out of work, unemployment results.
Calvin Coolidge
We demand entire freedom of action and then expect the government in some miraculous way to save us from the consequences of our own acts.... Self-government means self-reliance.
Calvin Coolidge
There is no dignity quite so impressive, and no one independence quite so important, as living within your means.
Calvin Coolidge
No method of procedure has ever been devised by which liberty could be divorced from local self-government. No plan of centralization has ever been adopted which did not result in bureaucracy, tyranny, inflexibility, reaction, and decline.
Calvin Coolidge
Advertising is the most potent influence in adapting and changing the habits and modes of life affecting what we eat, what we wear, and the work and play of a whole nation.
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
Works which endure come from the soul of the people. The mighty in their pride walk alone to destruction. The humble walk hand in hand with providence to immortality. Their works survive.
Calvin Coolidge
The danger to America is not in the direction of the failure to maintain its economic position, but in the direction of the failure to maintain its ideals.
Calvin Coolidge
A government which lays taxes on the people not required by urgent public necessity and sound public policy is not a protector of liberty, but an instrument of tyranny. It condemns the citizen to servitude.
Calvin Coolidge
If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions.
Calvin Coolidge
Never go out to meet trouble. If you just sit still, nine cases out of ten, someone will intercept it before it reaches you.
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.
Calvin Coolidge
It is not the enactment, but the observance of laws, that creates the character of a nation.
Calvin Coolidge
