I am for economy. After that I am for more economy. At this time and under present conditions that is my conception of serving all the people.

Some of the offers that have come to me would never have come if I had not been President. That means these people are trying to hire not Calvin Coolidge, but a former President of the United States. I can't make that kind of use of the office.... I can't do anything that might take away from the Presidency any of its dignity, or any of the faith people have in it.

America... Cherishes no purpose save to merit the favor of Almighty God.

Works which endure come from the soul of the people. The mighty in their pride walk alone to destruction. The humble walk hand in hand with providence to immortality. Their works survive.

It is difficult for men in high office to avoid the malady of self-delusion. They are always surrounded by worshipers. They are constantly, and for the most part sincerely, assured of their greatness.

The only hope of a short war is to prepare for a long one.

I favor the policy of economy, not because I wish to save money, but because I wish to save people.
