Coolidge was an underrated president. Such a wise man. His homestead in Plymouth, NH is beautiful and definitely worth a visit. They still make the delicious family cheese that Cal’s father started.

I like this ! Every elected official should study this . . . especially in this day of trillion dollar deficits. Too much waste today and “kicking the can down the road”. Tara, hope you had a great spring break with the family. You do a great job and are very appreciated.

Calvin Coolidge is one of my favorite presidents. I admire and respect practically in humans especially those that are in positions of leadership and power. We are in a mess economically because of a lack of this quality among most politicians. Too bad they continue to be voted in by the people. Makes no sense unless there are too many people wanting free things instead of freedom. Hope you’ve been having a restful and fun week, Tara. Thanks for the great week of quotes.

Using Coolidge's words as a standard, we can see just how much American politicians have come to hate and abuse their "subjects". Thirty-four trillion dollars worth and rising.

How very true!

Taking earnings away from hard working Americans and spending their money on things they don’t need, don’t want and can’t afford destroys their Lives, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness!

Thank you Tara for another great quote from history!

I love Calvin Coolidge. History is full of wise quotes from him. Considering that he was known as "Silent," he sure had a lot to say!
