More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
Everyone has an influence on public affairs if he will take the trouble to exert it.
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
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
It takes a great man to be a good listener.
Calvin Coolidge
Nobody will ever forget what I've accomplished.
Calvin Coolidge
I do not choose to run for President in 1928.
Calvin Coolidge
Don't hesitate to be as revolutionary as science. Don't hesitate to be as reactionary as the multiplication table.
Calvin Coolidge
If you don't say anything, you won't be called on to repeat it.
Calvin Coolidge
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
Calvin Coolidge
In other periods of depression, it has always been possible to see some things which were solid and upon which you could base hope, but as I look about, I now see nothing to give ground to hope-nothing of man.
Calvin Coolidge
Nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.
Calvin Coolidge
Unless we lay our course in accordance with this principle, the great power for good in the world with which we have been intrusted by a Divine Providence will be turned to a power for evil.
Calvin Coolidge
Men do not make laws. They do but discover them.
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
If I had permitted my failures, or what seemed to me at the time a lack of success, to discourage me I cannot see any way in which I would ever have made progress.
Calvin Coolidge
It is not the enactment, but the observance of laws, that creates the character of a nation.
Calvin Coolidge
If the people fail to vote, a government will be developed which is not their government... The whole system of American Government rests on the ballot box. Unless citizens perform their duties there, such a system of government is doomed to failure.
Calvin Coolidge
Money will not purchase character or good government.
Calvin Coolidge
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Calvin Coolidge
The right thing to do never requires any subterfuge, it is always simple and direct.
Calvin Coolidge
