More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
It takes a great man to be a good listener.
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
Whenever I indulge my sense of humor, it gets me into trouble.
Calvin Coolidge
You can't increase prosperity by taxing success.
Calvin Coolidge
If we judge ourselves only by our aspirations and everyone else only their conduct we shall soon reach a very false conclusion.
Calvin Coolidge
Unless the people, through unified action, arise and take charge of their government, they will find that their government has taken charge of them. Independence and liberty will be gone, and the general public will find itself in a condition of servitude to an aggregation of organized and selfish interest.
Calvin Coolidge
The duties which a police officer owes to the state are of a most exacting nature. No one is compelled to choose the profession ofa police officer, but having chosen it, everyone is obliged to live up to the standard of its requirements. To join in that high enterprise means the surrender of much individual freedom.
Calvin Coolidge
Ultimately property rights and personal rights are the same thing.
Calvin Coolidge
Don't hesitate to be as revolutionary as science. Don't hesitate to be as reactionary as the multiplication table.
Calvin Coolidge
In a republic the first rule for the guidance of the citizen is obedience of the law.
Calvin Coolidge
It is much more important to kill bad bills than to pass good ones.
Calvin Coolidge
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
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 wholesome regard for the memory of the great men of long ago is the best assurance to a people of a continuation of great men to come, who shall be able to instruct, to lead, and to inspire. A people who worship at the shrine of true greatness will themselves be truly great.
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
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
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
I have never been hurt by what I have not said.
Calvin Coolidge
Faith is the great motive power, and no man realizes his full possibilities unless he has the deep conviction that life is eternally important and that his work well done is a part of an unending plan.
Calvin Coolidge
There is no justification for public interference with purely private concerns.
Calvin Coolidge
