More quotes by 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
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
Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.
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
Teaching is one of the noblest of professions. It requires an adequate preparation and training, patience, devotion, and a deep sense of responsibility. Those who mold the human mind have wrought not for time, but for eternity.
Calvin Coolidge
A display of reason rather than a threat of force should be the determining factor in the intercourse among nations.
Calvin Coolidge
It seems to me probable that of all our economic life the element on which we are inclined to place too low an estimate is advertising.
Calvin Coolidge
To live under the American Constitution is the greatest political privilege that was ever accorded to the human race.
Calvin Coolidge
It is very difficult to reconcile the American ideal of a sovereign people capable of owning and managing their own government with an inability to own and manage their own business.
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
War is the rule of force, and peace is the reign of law.
Calvin Coolidge
This country would not be a land of opportunity, America could not be America, if the people were shackled with government monopolies.
Calvin Coolidge
Few people are lacking in capacity, but they fail because they are lacking in application.
Calvin Coolidge
If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions.
Calvin Coolidge
The centralization of power in Washington, which nearly all members of Congress deplore in their speech and then support by their votes, steadily increases.
Calvin Coolidge
Any reward that is worth having only comes to the industrious. The success which is made in any walk of life is measured almost exactly by the amount of hard work that is put into it.
Calvin Coolidge
All growth depends upon activity.
Calvin Coolidge
Because of what America is and what America has done, a firmer courage, a higher hope, inspires the heart of all humanity.
Calvin Coolidge
While legislation can stimulate and encourage, the real creative ability which builds up and develops the country, and in general makes human existence more tolerable and life more complete, has to be supplied by the genius of the people themselves. The Government can supply no substitute for enterprise.
Calvin Coolidge
We do not need to import any foreign economic ideas or any foreign government. We had better stick to the American brand of government, the American brand of equality, and the American brand of wages. America had better stay American
Calvin Coolidge
