The chief business of the American people is business.

Paying Attention

I have found it advisable not to give too much heed to what people say 
when I am trying to accomplish something of consequence. Invariably 
they proclaim it can't be done. I deem that the very best time to make 
the effort. 
Calvin Coolidge

Persistence

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. 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. 
Calvin Coolidge

Progress

If I had permitted my failures, or what seemed to me at the time a lack

Prosperity is only an instrument to be used, not a deity to be worshipped.

Right Thing

The right thing to do never requires any subterfuge, it is always 
simple and direct. 
Calvin Coolidge 
Source:http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/c/calvin_coolidge.html


Rights and Laws

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.

Self-Reliance

"We demand entire freedom of action and then expect the government in
some miraculous way to save us from the consequences of our own acts....
Self-government means self-reliance."

Taxes

Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery. 
Calvin Coolidge 
Source:http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/c/calvin_coolidge.html

"The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do
not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to the public welfare, is only
a species of legalized larceny. The wise and correct course to follow
in taxation is not to destroy those who have already secured success,
but to create conditions under which everyone will have a better chance
to be successful."
-- Calvin Coolidge
(1873-1933), 30th US President

"No matter what anyone may say
about making the rich and the corporations pay taxes,
in the end they come out of the people who toil."
Calvin Coolidge

Trouble

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. 
Calvin Coolidge

Four-fifths of all our troubles would disappear, if we would only sit down 
and keep still.

When large numbers of men are unable to find work, unemployment results.

Weak and Strong

Calvin Coolidge

Wisdom

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up 
in the mind a vast quantity of face within a comparatively short time, but 
the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work 
and the tempering heat of experience and maturity. 
Calvin Coolidge
