More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
American ideals do not require to be changed so much as they require to be understood and applied.
Calvin Coolidge
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Calvin Coolidge
It is not easy to conceive of anything that would be more unfortunate in a community based upon the ideals of which Americans boast than any considerable development of intolerance as regards religion.
Calvin Coolidge
I shouldn't want you to be surprised, or to draw any particular inference from my making speeches, or not making speeches, out there. I don't recall any candidate for President that ever injured himself very much by not talking.
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
Economy is the method by which we prepare today to afford the improvements of tomorrow.
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
You can't increase prosperity by taxing success.
Calvin Coolidge
As I went about with my father, when he collected taxes, I knew that when taxes were laid someone had to work hard to earn the money to pay them.
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
It is not the enactment, but the observance of laws, that creates the character of a nation.
Calvin Coolidge
Of course, the accumulation of wealth cannot be justified as the chief end of existence.
Calvin Coolidge
Nobody will ever forget what I've accomplished.
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
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
Few people are lacking in capacity, but they fail because they are lacking in application.
Calvin Coolidge
Our government rests upon religion. It is from that source that we derive our reverance for truth and justice, for equality and liberty, and for the rights of mankind. Unless the people believe in these principles they cannot believe in our government.
Calvin Coolidge
The fundamental precept of liberty is toleration.
Calvin Coolidge
Surprisingly few men are lacking in capacity, but they fail because... they are too indolent to apply themselves with the seriousness and the attention that is necessary to solve important problems.
Calvin Coolidge
If the people lose control of the arteries of trade and the natural sources of mechanical power, the nationalization of all industry should soon be expected. Our forefathers were alert to resist all encroachments upon their rights. If we wish to maintain our rights, we can do no less.
Calvin Coolidge
