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

Calvin Coolidge

Four-fifths of all our troubles would disappear, if we would only sit down and keep still.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Dissappear Politics Trouble
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
You can display no greater wisdom than by resisting proposals for needless legislation. It is much more important to kill bad bills than to pass good ones.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Bills Goodness Important Man
Industry, thrift and self-control are not sought because they create wealth, but because they create character.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Character Creation Self Wealth
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Direction Hard Work Knowledge Maturity Simplicity Wisdom
The final solution for unemployment is work.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Government Job Solution
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
The attempt to regulate, control, and prescribe all manner of conduct and social relations is very old. It was always the practice of primitive people.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

The most common commodity in this country is unrealized potential.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

We are too solicitous for government intervention, on the theory, first, that the people themselves are helpless, and second, that the Government has superior capacity for action. Often times both of these conclusions are wrong.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Action Government People Theory Wrong
No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Generosity Himself Leadership Life Motivational
Liberty is not collective, it is personal. All liberty is individual liberty.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Deep Liberty
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
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
Prosperity is only an instrument to be used, not a deity to be worshipped.
