To live under the American Constitution is the greatest political privilege that was ever accorded to the human race.

Calvin Coolidge

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
The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Country Difficult Faith God Ourselves Support Teaching
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
Freedom is not only bought with a great price; it is maintained by unremitting effort.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Effort Freedom Greatness Price
The only way I know to drive out evil from the country is by the constructive method of filling it with good.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Country Evil Goodness
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
Don’t expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Deep Peace Strength Strong Weakness
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

The nation which forgets its defenders will be itself forgotten.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Forget Nation People War
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

Liberty is not collective, it is personal. All liberty is individual liberty.

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.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

You don’t have to explain something you never said.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Explanation Silence
Unless the people, through unified action, arise and take charge of their government, they will find that their government has taken charge of them. Independence and liberty will be gone, and the general public will find itself in a condition of servitude to an aggregation of organized and selfish interest.
CALVIN COOLIDGE

Control Government Independent Liberty Selfish Unity
Your ability to face setbacks and disappointments without giving up will be the measure of your ability to succeed.
