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

Beyond Collection Doubt Reward
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 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.

Your ability to face setbacks and disappointments without giving up will be the measure of your ability to succeed.

The higher state to which [America] seeks the allegiance of all mankind is not of human, but of divine origin. She cherishes no purpose save to merit the favor of Almighty God.
