More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
We cannot weaken or destroy political parties in ther United States without weakening or destroying the rule of the people.... Those who support party organization and submit to party discipline are supporting the only course yet discovered for orderly government by the people.
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

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
The property of the people belongs to the people. To take it from them by taxation cannot be justified except by urgent public necessity. Unless this principle be recognized our country is no longer secure, our people no longer free.
Calvin Coolidge
I think the American public wants a solemn ass as a president, and I think I'll go along with them.

Civilisation and profits go hand in hand.
Calvin Coolidge
I want taxes to be less, that the people may have more.
