More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
Governments are necessarily continuing concerns. They have to keep going in good times and in bad. They therefore need a wide margin of safety. If taxes and debt are made all the people can bear when times are good, there will be certain disaster when times are bad.
Calvin Coolidge
There is only one form of political strategy in which I have any confidence, and that is to try to do the right thing and sometimes be able to succeed.
Calvin Coolidge
Work is not a curse it is the prerogative of intelligence, the only means to manhood, and the measure of civilization.
Calvin Coolidge
The Constitution is the sole source and guaranty of national freedom.
Calvin Coolidge
In the discharge of the duties of this office, there is one rule of action more important than all others. It consists in never doing anything that someone else can do for you.
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
If you can get enough votes so that mine will make a majority, you can have it.
Calvin Coolidge
It takes a great man to be a good listener.
Calvin Coolidge
We cannot permit any inquisition either within or without the law or apply any religious test to the holding of office. The mind of America must be forever free.

Calvin Coolidge
If I had permitted my failures, or what seemed to me at the time a lack of success, to discourage me I cannot see any way in which I would ever have made progress.
Calvin Coolidge

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
Nobody will ever forget what I've accomplished.
Calvin Coolidge
A government which lays taxes on the people not required by urgent public necessity and sound public policy is not a protector of liberty, but an instrument of tyranny. It condemns the citizen to servitude.
Calvin Coolidge
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.
Calvin Coolidge
You can't increase prosperity by taxing success.
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
Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind.
Calvin Coolidge
The attempt to regulate, control, and prescribe all manner of conduct and social relations is very old. It was always the practice of primitive peoples.
Calvin Coolidge
