To the American People: Christ...

To the American People: Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind. To cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. If we think on these things, there will be born in us a Savior and over us will shine a star sending its gleam of hope to the world.' ~ Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933), American president. Presidential message (December 25, 1927).

America's present need is not ...

America's present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums, but normalcy; not revolution, but restoration; not agitation, but adjustment; not surgery, but serenity; not the dramatic, but the dispassionate; not experiment, but equipoise; not submergence in internationality, but sustainment in triumphant nationality.

It is much more important to kill bad bills than to pass good ones.

I think the American public wants a solemn ass as a president, and I think I'll go along with them.

Doubters do not achieve; skeptics do not contribute; cynics do not create.

It is hard to see how a great man can be an atheist. . . . We need to feel that behind us is intelligence and love.

There is new life in the soil for every man. There is healing in the trees for tired minds and for our overburdened spirits, there is strength in the hills, if only we will lift up our eyes. Remember that nature is your great restorer.

No matter what anyone may say about making the rich and the corporations pay taxes, in the end they come out of the people who toil

Industry cannot flourish if labor languish.

What America needs is to hold ...

What America needs is to hold to its ancient and well-charted course. Our country was conceived in the theory of local self-government. It has been dedicated by long practice to that wise and beneficent policy. It is the foundation principle of our system of liberty. It makes the largest promise to the freedom and development of the individual. Its preservation is worth all the effort and all the sacrifice that it may cost.

Kalvin Kulidj 435 quotes

Nations are beginning to look ...

Nations are beginning to look to some vague organization, some nebulous course of humanity, to pay their bills and tell them what to do. This is not local self-government. It is not American. It is not the method which has made this country what it is. We can not maintain the western standard of civilization on that theory. If it is supported at all, it will have to be supported on the principle of individual responsibility.

Kalvin Kulidj 435 quotes

We are too solicitous for gove...

We are too solicitous for government intervention, on the theory, first, that the people themselves are helpless, and second, that the Government has superior capacity for action. Often times both of these conclusions are wrong.

One insidious practice which sugar-coats the dose of Federal intrusion is the division of expense . . .

Kalvin Kulidj 435 quotes

The collection of taxes which ...

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.

Kalvin Kulidj 435 quotes

A government which lays taxes ...

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.

Wherever despotism abounds, the sources of public information are the first to be brought under its control.
