I shouldn't want you to be surprised, or to draw any particular inference from my making speeches, or not making speeches, out there. I don't recall any candidate for President that ever injured himself very much by not talking.

More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
Patriotism is easy to understand in America. It means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country.
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
If American democracy is to remain the greatest hope of humanity, it must continue abundantly in the faith of the Bible
Calvin Coolidge
A display of reason rather than a threat of force should be the determining factor in the intercourse among nations.
Calvin Coolidge
One with the law is a majority.
Calvin Coolidge
Nothing is easier than spending public money. It does not appear to belong to anybody. The temptation is overwhelming to bestow it on somebody.
Calvin Coolidge
There is no force so democratic as the force of an ideal.
Calvin Coolidge
It is not the enactment, but the observance of laws, that creates the character of a nation.
Calvin Coolidge
Nature is inexorable. If men do not follow the truth they cannot live.
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
We do not need more knowledge, we need more character!
Calvin Coolidge
There is no escaping the fact that when the taxation of large incomes is excessive, they tend to disappear.
Calvin Coolidge
America... Cherishes no purpose save to merit the favor of Almighty God.
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
Liberty is not collective, it is personal. All liberty is individual liberty.
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
If the people fail to vote, a government will be developed which is not their government... The whole system of American Government rests on the ballot box. Unless citizens perform their duties there, such a system of government is doomed to failure.
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
There's more, much more, to Christmas Than candlelight and cheer It's the spirit of sweet friendship That brightens all year. It's thoughtfulness and kindness, It's hope reborn again, For peace, for understanding, And for goodwill to men!
Calvin Coolidge
If you can get enough votes so that mine will make a majority, you can have it.
Calvin Coolidge
