Perhaps one of the most important accomplishments of my administration has been minding my own business.

Calvin Coolidge

Teaching is one of the noblest of professions. It requires an adequate preparation and training, patience, devotion, and a deep sense of responsibility. Those who mold the human mind have wrought not for time, but for eternity.

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

Goodness Government Important Liberty
After order and liberty, economy is one of the highest essentials of a free government.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Government Liberty Necessary Order
Wherever despotism abounds, the sources of public information are the first to be brought under its control.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Control Firsts Information Source
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.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Character Civilization Government
If the people fail to vote, a government will be developed which is not their government. The whole system of American Government rests on the ballot box. Unless citizens perform their duties there, such a system of government is doomed to failure.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Citizenship Failure Government People
If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Beyond Creation Equality Government Men Power Progress Right
Our government rests upon religion. It is from that source that we derive our reverance for truth and justice, for equality and liberty, and for the rights of mankind. Unless the people believe in these principles they cannot believe in our government.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Believe Equality Government Justice Ourselves Religion Right Truth
We want wealth, but there are many other things we want very much more. Among them are peace, honor, charity, and idealism.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Charity Honor Ideal Peace
A display of reason rather than a threat of force should be the determining factor in the intercourse among nations.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Determination Force Reason
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

Government Liberty Necessary People Protection
Doubters do not achieve; skeptics do not contribute; cynics do not create.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Achievement Doubt
When more and more people are thrown out of work, unemployment results.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Job People Work
This country would not be a land of opportunity, America could not be America, if the people were shackled with government monopolies.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Country Government Opportunity
Don’t expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Deep Peace Strength Strong Weakness
Four-fifths of all our troubles would disappear, if we would only sit down and keep still.
