Calvin Coolidge

When more and more people are thrown out of work, unemployment results.

You don't have to explain something you never said.

Satisfaction does not come from indulgence or satiety; it comes from achievement.

What we need in appointive positions are men of knowledge and experience with sufficient character to resist temptations.

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

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

No one ever listened himself out of a job.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence and determination.

I've never been hurt by anything I didn't say.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men of talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, 'press on' has solved, and always will solve, the problems of the human race.

I think the American public wants a solemn ass as a President, and I think I'll go along with them.
