Calvin Coolidge
If you can get enough votes so that mine will make a majority, you can have it.
Calvin Coolidge
I want taxes to be less, that the people may have more.
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
It is very difficult to reconcile the American ideal of a sovereign people capable of owning and managing their own government with an inability to own and manage their own business.
Calvin Coolidge
Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.
Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
To live under the American Constitution is the greatest political privilege that was ever accorded to the human race.
Calvin Coolidge
Silence can never be misquoted.
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
There is no escaping the fact that when the taxation of large incomes is excessive, they tend to disappear.
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 is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.
Calvin Coolidge
A government which requires of the people the contribution of the bulk of their substance and rewards cannot be classed as a free government.
Calvin Coolidge
I have never been hurt by what I have not said.
Calvin Coolidge
