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

Calvin Coolidge

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

Feeling Law Myself
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.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Beyond Collection Doubt Reward
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
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

You can’t know too much, but you can say too much.

It is difficult for men in high office to avoid the malady of self-delusion. They are always surrounded by worshipers. They are constantly, and for the most part sincerely, assured of their greatness.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Difficult Greatness Men
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.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.
