More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
There is far more danger of harm than there is hope of good in any radical changes.
Calvin Coolidge
Work is not a curse it is the prerogative of intelligence, the only means to manhood, and the measure of civilization.
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
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
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
Nobody will ever forget what I've accomplished.
Calvin Coolidge
Education should be the handmaid of citizenship.
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
I have noticed that nothing I never said ever did me any harm.
Calvin Coolidge
We draw our Presidents from the people. It is a wholesome thing for them to return to the people. I came from them. I wish to be one of them again.
Calvin Coolidge
Honorable Senators: My sincerest thanks I offer you. Conserve the firm foundations of our institutions. Do your work with the spirit of a soldier in the public service. Be loyal to the Commonwealth and to yourselves and be brief above all be brief.
Calvin Coolidge
Eat it up, make it do, wear it out.
Calvin Coolidge
America's present need is not heroics, but healing not nostrums, but normalcy not revolution, but restoration not agitation, but adjustment not surgery, but serenity not the dramatic, but the dispassionate not experiment, but equipoise not submergence in internationality, but sustainment in triumphant nationality.
Calvin Coolidge
The fundamental precept of liberty is toleration.
Calvin Coolidge
Liberty is not collective, it is personal. All liberty is individual liberty.
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 need not concern ourselves much about rights of property if we faithfully observe the rights of persons.
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
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
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.
Calvin Coolidge
