More quotes by Calvin Coolidge

Image
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
Image
There is far more danger of harm than there is hope of good in any radical changes.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
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
Image
This country would not be a land of opportunity, America could not be America, if the people were shackled with government monopolies.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
There is no substitute for a militant freedom.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
Silence can never be misquoted.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
We do not need to import any foreign economic ideas or any foreign government. We had better stick to the American brand of government, the American brand of equality, and the American brand of wages. America had better stay American
Calvin Coolidge

No enterprise can exist for itself alone.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
Human nature provides sufficient distrust of all that is alien, so that there is no need of any artificial supply.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
I always figured the American public wanted a solemn ass for president, so I went along with them.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
A government which lays taxes on the people not required by urgent public necessity and sound public policy is not a protector of liberty, but an instrument of tyranny. It condemns the citizen to servitude.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
Civilisation and profits go hand in hand.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
The appropriation of public money always is perfectly lovely until some one is asked to pay the bill. If we are to have a billion dollars of navy, half a billion of farm relief, etc... the people will have to furnish more revenue by paying more taxes. It is for them, through their Congress, to decide how far they wish to go.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
These things do not happen by chance. There is much less luck in public affairs than some suppose.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
Economy is the method by which we prepare today to afford the improvements of tomorrow.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
If the people lose control of the arteries of trade and the natural sources of mechanical power, the nationalization of all industry should soon be expected. Our forefathers were alert to resist all encroachments upon their rights. If we wish to maintain our rights, we can do no less.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
We demand entire freedom of action and then expect the government in some miraculous way to save us from the consequences of our own acts.... Self-government means self-reliance.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
A display of reason rather than a threat of force should be the determining factor in the intercourse among nations.

[Sun Yat-sen is a] combined Benjamin Franklin and George Washington of China.
