We have got so many regulatory laws already that in general I feel that we would be just as well off if we didn’t have any more.

Calvin Coolidge

Ultimately property rights and personal rights are the same thing.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Politics Property Right
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.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Act Powerful Togetherness
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
Never go out to meet trouble. If you just sit still, nine cases out of ten, someone will intercept it before it reaches you.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Politics Yourself
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.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Important Oneself Reality
We demand entire freedom of action and then expect the government in some miraculous way to save us from the consequences of our own acts. Self-government means self-reliance.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

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

Goodness Government Important Liberty
When a man begins to feel that he is the only one who can lead in this republic, he is guilty of treason to the spirit of our institutions.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Death Democracy Feeling Himself Institution Leadership Men Ourselves Spirit
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
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

What men owe to the love and help of good women can never be told.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Good Woman Help Men
I have found it advisable not to give too much heed to what people say when I am trying to accomplish something of consequence. Invariably they proclaim it can’t be done. I deem that the very best time to make the effort.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Accomplishment Effort Generosity People
They criticize me for harping on the obvious; if all the folks in the United States would do the few simple things they know they ought to do, most of our big problems would take care of themselves.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Care Problem Simplicity
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
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.
