Calvin Coolidge

No man ever listened himself out of a job.

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

Nothing in the world will take away persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than an unsuccessful man with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work.
Calvin Coolidge - in a telegram, 1919
There is no right to strike against the public safety by anybody, anywhere, any time.

Advertising is the most potent influence in adapting and changing the habits and modes of life affecting what we eat, what we wear, and the work and play of a whole nation.

No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.

More people out of work leads to higher unemployment.`
Calvin Coolidge - speech, June 11, 1928
Prosperity is only an instrument to be used, not a deity to be worshipped.
Calvin Coolidge - Speech in Washington, Jan. 17, 1925
The chief business of the American people is business.

Never go out to meet trouble. If you will just sit still, nine cases out of ten someone will intercept it before it reaches you.
