More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
I always enjoy animal acts.
Calvin Coolidge
The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them.
Calvin Coolidge
It is very difficult to reconcile the American ideal of a sovereign people capable of owning and managing their own government with an inability to own and manage their own business.
Calvin Coolidge
If you see ten troubles coming down the road, you can be sure that nine will run into the ditch before they reach you.
Calvin Coolidge
We are too solicitous for government intervention, on the theory, first, that the people themselves are helpless, and second, that the Government has superior capacity for action. Often times both of these conclusions are wrong.
Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
I want taxes to be less, that the people may have more.
Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
The right thing to do never requires any subterfuge, it is always simple and direct.
Calvin Coolidge
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
We have got so many regulatory laws already that in general I feel that we would be just as well off if we didn't have any more.
Calvin Coolidge
We need not concern ourselves much about rights of property if we faithfully observe the rights of persons.
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
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
To place your name by gift or bequest in the keeping of an active educational institution is to...make a permanent contribution to the welfare of humanity.
Calvin Coolidge
All growth depends upon activity.
Calvin Coolidge
