Economy is the method by which we prepare today to afford the improvements of tomorrow.

Calvin Coolidge

When people are bewildered they tend to become credulous.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Control People Wild
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
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

Old People Practice Relation
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

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
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
The property of the people belongs to the people. To take it from them by taxation cannot be justified except by urgent public necessity. Unless this principle be recognized our country is no longer secure, our people no longer free.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Country Freedom Necessary People Principle Security

Man everywhere has an unconquerable desire to be the master of his own destiny.

Industry, thrift and self-control are not sought because they create wealth, but because they create character.
