Business will be either better or worse.

Calvin Coolidge

In life there is nothing more common than talent and intelligence. What is missing is passion, persistence, commitment, and dedication.
Calvin Coolidge

In a republic the first rule for the guidance of the citizen is obedience of the law.

Image
In other periods of depression, it has always been possible to see some things which were solid and upon which you could base hope, but as I look about, I now see nothing to give ground to hope-nothing of man.

I have never been hurt by what I have not said.
