Calvin Coolidge
Whether one traces his Americanism back three centuries to the Mayflower, or three years to the steerage, is not half so important as whether his Americanism of today is real and genuine. No matter by what various crafts we came here, we are all now in the same boat.
Calvin Coolidge
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Calvin Coolidge
Civilisation and profits go hand in hand.
Calvin Coolidge
In life there is nothing more common than talent and intelligence. What is missing is passion, persistence, commitment, and dedication.
Calvin Coolidge
Everyone has an influence on public affairs if he will take the trouble to exert it.
