More quotes by 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
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
I am for economy. After that I am for more economy. At this time and under present conditions that is my conception of serving all the people.
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
Nobody will ever forget what I've accomplished.
Calvin Coolidge
There is no right to strike against the public safety by anybody, anywhere, any time.
Calvin Coolidge
I appeal to Amherst men to reiterate the Amherst doctrine that the man who builds a factory builds a temple, that the man who works there worships there, and to each is due not scorn and blame but reverence and praise.
Calvin Coolidge
If you can get enough votes so that mine will make a majority, you can have it.
Calvin Coolidge
There is no force so democratic as the force of an ideal.
Calvin Coolidge
Whenever I indulge my sense of humor, it gets me into trouble.
Calvin Coolidge
When more and more people are thrown out of work, unemployment results.
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
War is the rule of force, and peace is the reign of law.
Calvin Coolidge
We live an age of science and of abounding accumulation of material things. These did not create the Declaration. Our Declaration created them. ... If we are to maintain the great heritage which has been bequeathed to us, we must be like-minded as the fathers who created it.
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
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
No man ever listened himself out of a job.
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
Changing a college curriculum is like moving a graveyard-you never know how many friends the dead have until you try to move them!
