More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
One of the greatest perils to an extensive republic is the disregard of individual rights.
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
Advertising ministers to the spiritual side of trade.
Calvin Coolidge
We cannot permit any inquisition either within or without the law or apply any religious test to the holding of office. The mind of America must be forever free.

Calvin Coolidge
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.
Calvin Coolidge
Civilization and profit go hand in hand.
Calvin Coolidge
When people are bewildered they tend to become credulous.
Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
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
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
Of course, the accumulation of wealth cannot be justified as the chief end of existence.
Calvin Coolidge
Nothing is easier than spending public money. It does not appear to belong to anybody. The temptation is overwhelming to bestow it on somebody.
Calvin Coolidge
The doctrine of the Declaration of Independence predicated upon the glory of man and the corresponding duty to society that the rights of citizens ought to be protected with every power and resource of the state, and a government that does any less is false to the teachings of that great document - false to the name American.
Calvin Coolidge
The fundamental precept of liberty is toleration.
Calvin Coolidge
Not long ago I heard a Navy chaplain refer to the sage advice of the Apostle to put first things first...If we are to heed the admonition to put first things first...one of the main essentials which lies at the very beginning of civilization is that of security.
Calvin Coolidge
Whenever I indulge my sense of humor, it gets me into trouble.
Calvin Coolidge
I have never been hurt by what I have not said.
Calvin Coolidge
The property of the people belongs to the people. To take it from them by taxation cannot be justified except by urgent public necessity. Unless this principle be recognized our country is no longer secure, our people no longer free.
Calvin Coolidge
The chief business of the American people is business.
Calvin Coolidge
