More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
Works which endure come from the soul of the people. The mighty in their pride walk alone to destruction. The humble walk hand in hand with providence to immortality. Their works survive.
Calvin Coolidge
The man who builds a factory, builds a temple.
Calvin Coolidge
Measured by the standards of men of their time, [the Pilgrims] were the humble of the earth. Measured by later accomplishments, they were the mighty. In appearance weak and persecuted they came -- rejected, despised -- an insignificant band in reality strong and independent, a mighty host of whom the world was not worthy destined to free mankind.
Calvin Coolidge
In life there is nothing more common than talent and intelligence. What is missing is passion, persistence, commitment, and dedication.
Calvin Coolidge
No man ever listened himself out of a job.
Calvin Coolidge
When more and more people are thrown out of work, unemployment results.
Calvin Coolidge
Realizing that we can not live unto ourselves alone, we have contributed of our resources and our counsel to the relief of the suffering and the settlement of the disputes among the European nations. Because of what America is and what America has done, a firmer courage, a higher hope, inspires the heart of all humanity.
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
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
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
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.
Calvin Coolidge
That man has offered me unsolicited advice for six years, most of it bad.
Calvin Coolidge
You can't know too much, but you can say too much.
Calvin Coolidge
I do not choose to run for President in 1928.
Calvin Coolidge
Parties do not maintain themselves. They are maintained by effort. The government is not self-existent. It is maintained by the effort of those who believe in it. The people of America believe in American institutions, the American form of government and the American method of transacting business.
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
The right thing to do never requires any subterfuge, it is always simple and direct.
Calvin Coolidge
This country would not be a land of opportunity, America could not be America, if the people were shackled with government monopolies.
Calvin Coolidge
Liberty is not collective, it is personal. All liberty is individual liberty.
Calvin Coolidge
I think the American public wants a solemn ass as a president, and I think I'll go along with them.
