More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind.
Calvin Coolidge
We need not concern ourselves much about rights of property if we faithfully observe the rights of persons.
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
Wealth comes from industry and from the hard experience of human toil. To dissipate it in waste and extravagance is disloyalty to humanity.
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
You can display no greater wisdom than by resisting proposals for needless legislation. 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
Prosperity cannot be divorced from humanity.
Calvin Coolidge
Whenever I indulge my sense of humor, it gets me into trouble.
Calvin Coolidge
If you see ten troubles coming down the road, you can be sure that nine will run into the ditch before they reach you.
Calvin Coolidge
The man who builds a factory, builds a temple.
Calvin Coolidge
Under our institutions each individual is born to sovereignty. Whatever he may adopt as a means of livelihood, his real business is serving his country. He cannot hold himself above his fellow men. The greatest place of command is really the place of obedience, and the greatest place of honor is really the place of service.
Calvin Coolidge
To live under the American Constitution is the greatest political privilege that was ever accorded to the human race.
Calvin Coolidge
If you can get enough votes so that mine will make a majority, you can have it.
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
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Calvin Coolidge
Advertising is the most potent influence in adapting and changing the habits and modes of life affecting what we eat, what we wear, and the work and play of a whole nation.
Calvin Coolidge
Industry cannot flourish if labor languish.
Calvin Coolidge
Civilization and profit go hand in hand.
Calvin Coolidge
We have too much legislating by clamor, by tumult, by pressure. Representative government ceases when outside influence of any kind is substituted for the judgment of the representative.
Calvin Coolidge
