There have been great men with little of what we call education. There have been many small men with a great deal of learning. There has never been a great people who did not possess great learning.

Numbered among our population...

Numbered among our population are some 12,000,000 colored people. Under our Constitution their rights are just as sacred as those of any other citizen. It is both a public and a private duty to protect those rights. The Congress ought to exercise all its powers of prevention and punishment against the hideous crime of lynching, of which the negroes are by no means the sole sufferers, but for which they furnish a majority of the victims.

Don't hesitate to be as revolutionary as science. Don't hesitate to be as reactionary as the multiplication table.

The higher state to which [Am...

The higher state to which [America] seeks the allegiance of all mankind is not of human, but of divine origin. She cherishes no purpose save to merit the favor of Almighty God.

If we judge ourselves only by...

If we judge ourselves only by our aspirations and everyone else only their conduct we shall soon reach a very false conclusion.

The doctrine of the Declarati...

The doctrine of the Declaration of Independence predicated upon the glory of man and the corresponding duty to society that the rights of citizens ought to be protected with every power and resource of the state, and a government that does any less is false to the teachings of that great document - false to the name American.

What we need in appointive positions is men of knowledge and experience who have sufficient character to resist temptations.

Kalvin Kulidj 435 quotes

Our domestic problems are for...

Our domestic problems are for the most part economic. We have our enormous debt to pay, and we are paying it. We have the high cost of government to diminish, and we are diminishing it. We have a heavy burden of taxation to reduce, and we are reducing it. But while remarkable progress has been made in these directions, the work is yet far from accomplished.

Kalvin Kulidj 435 quotes

When each citizen submits him...

When each citizen submits himself to the authority of law he does not thereby decrease his independence or freedom, but rather increases it. By recognizing that he is a part of a larger body which is banded together for a common purpose, he becomes more than an individual, he rises to a new dignity of citizenship. Instead of finding himself restricted and confined by rendering obedience to public law, he finds himself protected and defended and in the exercise of increased and increasing rights.

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

We want wealth, but there are many other things we want very much more. Among them are peace, honor, charity, and idealism.

Kalvin Kulidj 435 quotes

The most common commodity in ...

The most common commodity in this country is unrealized potential.

Kalvin Kulidj 435 quotes

We must have no carelessness ...

We must have no carelessness in our dealings with public property or the expenditure of public money. Such a condition is characteristic either of an undeveloped people, or of a decadent civilization. America is neither.

As I went about with my father, when he collected taxes, I knew that when taxes were laid someone had to work hard to earn the money to pay them.

Wherever despotism abounds, the sources of public information are the first to be brought under its control. Where ever the cause of liberty is making its way, one of its highest accomplishments is the guarantee of the freedom of the press.

It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

Kalvin Kulidj 435 quotes

Whether one traces his Americ...

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.

Man everywhere has an unconquerable desire to be the master of his own destiny.

Kalvin Kulidj 435 quotes

The welfare of the weakest an...

The welfare of the weakest and the welfare of the most powerful are inseparably bound together. ... The general welfare cannot be provided for in any one act, but it is well to remember that the benefit of one is the benefit of all, and the neglect of one is the neglect of all.

Kalvin Kulidj 435 quotes

The property of the people be...

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.
