Coolidge, Calvin (Calvin Coolidge)

Ultimately, property rights and personal rights are the same thing. The one cannot be preserved if the other be violated.
-- Calvin Coolidge

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
-- Calvin Coolidge

I favor the policy of economy, not because I wish to save money, but because I wish to save people. The men and women of this country who toil are the ones who bear the cost of the Government. Every dollar that we carelessly waste means that their life will be so much the more meager. Every dollar that we prudently save means that their life will be so much the more abundant. Economy is idealism in its most practical form.
-- Calvin Coolidge

There is only one form of political strategy in which I have any confidence, and that is to try to do the right thing and sometimes succeed.
-- 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
