Famous quotes by calvin coolidge:

    “I favor the policy of economy, not because I wish to save money, but because I wish to save people. The men and women of this country who toil are the ones who bear the cost of the Government. Every dollar that we carelessly waste means that their life will be so much the more meager. Every dollar that we prudently save means that their life will be so much the more abundant. Economy is idealism in its most practical terms.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “There is no force so democratic as the force of an ideal.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “I should think that an ordinary copy of the King James version would have been good enough for those Congressmen.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “Nobody. They just come and go.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “He was against it.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
