More quotes by Calvin Coolidge
[Sun Yat-sen is a] combined Benjamin Franklin and George Washington of China.
Calvin Coolidge
The property of the people belongs to the people. To take it from them by taxation cannot be justified except by urgent public necessity. Unless this principle be recognized our country is no longer secure, our people no longer free.
Calvin Coolidge
The right thing to do never requires any subterfuge, it is always simple and direct.
Calvin Coolidge
The chief business of the American people is business.

Because of what America is and what America has done, a firmer courage, a higher hope, inspires the heart of all humanity.
Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
A display of reason rather than a threat of force should be the determining factor in the intercourse among nations.
Calvin Coolidge
In life there is nothing more common than talent and intelligence. What is missing is passion, persistence, commitment, and dedication.
Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
Those who trust to chance must abide by the results of chance.
Calvin Coolidge
Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind.
Calvin Coolidge
It would be folly to argue that the people cannot make political mistakes. They can and do make grave mistakes. They know it, they pay the penalty, but compared with the mistakes which have been made by every kind of autocracy they are unimportant.
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
Civilization and profit go hand in hand.
