Coolidge

Famous quotes containing the word coolidge:

    Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

The slogan “Press On”, has solved and will always solve the problems of the human race.
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    Men speak of natural rights, but I challenge any one to show where in nature any rights existed or were recognized until there was established for their declaration and protection a duly promulgated body of corresponding laws.
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    After all, the chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with producing, buying, selling, investing and prospering in the world.
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
