More quotes by Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
There is no force so democratic as the force of an ideal.
Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
I appeal to Amherst men to reiterate the Amherst doctrine that the man who builds a factory builds a temple, that the man who works there worships there, and to each is due not scorn and blame but reverence and praise.
Calvin Coolidge
It is hard to see how a great man can be an atheist. . . . We need to feel that behind us is intelligence and love.
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
When people are bewildered they tend to become credulous.
Calvin Coolidge
Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind.
Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge
