Famous quotes by calvin coolidge:

    “There are always those who are willing to surrender local self-government and turn over their affairs to some national authority in exchange for a payment of money out of the Federal Treasury. Whenever they find some abuse needs correction in their neighborhood, instead of applying the remedy themselves they seek to have a tribunal sent on from Washington to discharge their duties for them, regardless of the fact that in accepting such supervision they are bartering away their freedom.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “We draw our Presidents from the people. It is a wholesome thing for them to return to the people. I came from them. I wish to be one of them again.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “I thought I could swing it.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “When a great many people are unable to find work, unemployment results.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “There is no reason for any suggestion that Mr. Hughes would resign, nor is there any reason for the suggestion that Mr. Mellon would resign, if either of them did not get exactly what they wanted from Congress; and I am not going to resign because I don’t get what I want.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
