“Calvin Coolidge was the greatest man who ever came out of Plymouth Corner, Vermont”
Clarence Darrow
“All Coolidge had to do in 1924 was to keep his mean trap shut, to be elected. All Harding had to do in 1920 was repeat ''Avoid foreign entanglements.'' All Hoover had to do in 1928 was to endorse Coolidge. All Roosevelt had to do in 1932 was to point to Hoover.”
Robert E Sherwood
“Coolidge is a better example of evolution than either Bryan or Darrow, for he knows when not to talk, which is the biggest asset the monkey possesses over the human.”
Will Rogers
“There comes Coolidge and does nothing and retires a hero, not only because he hadn't done anything, but because he had done it better than anyone”
“He [Calvin Coolidge] looks as though he's been weaned on a pickle.”
Alice Roosevelt Longworth
“Our government rests upon religion. It is from that source that we derive our reverence for truth and justice, for equality and liberality and for the rights of mankind. Unless the people believe in these principles they cannot believe in our government. There are only two main theories of government in the world. One rests on righteousness and the other on force. One appeals to reason, the other appeals to the sword. One is exemplified in a republic, the other is represented by a despotism.The government of a country never gets ahead of the religion of a country. There is no way by which we can substitute the authority of law for the virtue of men. Of course we can help to restrain the vicious and furnish a fair degree of security and protection by legislation and police control, but the real reform which society in these days is seeking will come as a result of religious convictions, or they will not come at all. Peace, justice, charity- these cannot be legislated into being. They are the result of Divine Grace.”
Calvin Coolidge
“We need to steal a game from Coolidge or Seton Catholic, and we need to beat Globe and Florence, which is something we can do.”
Robert Abalos
