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.

More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
A government which requires of the people the contribution of the bulk of their substance and rewards cannot be classed as a free government.
Calvin Coolidge
There is no right to strike against the public safety by anybody, anywhere, any time.
Calvin Coolidge
A colored man is precisely as much entitled to submit his candidacy in a party primary, as is any other citizen. The decision must be made by the constituents to whom he offers himself, and by nobody else.
Calvin Coolidge
Unless the people, through unified action, arise and take charge of their government, they will find that their government has taken charge of them. Independence and liberty will be gone, and the general public will find itself in a condition of servitude to an aggregation of organized and selfish interest.
Calvin Coolidge
Eat it up, make it do, wear it out.
Calvin Coolidge
Men do not make laws. They do but discover them.
Calvin Coolidge
It is hard to see how a great man can be an atheist. . . . We need to feel that behind us is intelligence and love.
Calvin Coolidge
We do not need more knowledge, we need more character!
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
Parties do not maintain themselves. They are maintained by effort. The government is not self-existent. It is maintained by the effort of those who believe in it. The people of America believe in American institutions, the American form of government and the American method of transacting business.
Calvin Coolidge
The chief business of the American people is business.
Calvin Coolidge
Character is the only secure foundation of the state.
Calvin Coolidge
It takes a great man to be a good listener.
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
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 appropriation of public money always is perfectly lovely until some one is asked to pay the bill. If we are to have a billion dollars of navy, half a billion of farm relief, etc... the people will have to furnish more revenue by paying more taxes. It is for them, through their Congress, to decide how far they wish to go.
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
Civilization and profit go hand in hand.
Calvin Coolidge
There's more, much more, to Christmas Than candlelight and cheer It's the spirit of sweet friendship That brightens all year. It's thoughtfulness and kindness, It's hope reborn again, For peace, for understanding, And for goodwill to men!
Calvin Coolidge
It is much more important to kill bad bills than to pass good ones.
Calvin Coolidge
