Calvin Coolidge
  • Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.

  • No nation ever had an army large enough to guarantee it against attack in time of peace, or ensure it of victory in time of war.

  • We need more of the Office Desk and less of the Show Window in politics. Let men in office substitute the midnight oil for the limelight.

  • We do not need more intellectual power, we need more spiritual power. We do not need more of the things that are seen, we need more of the things that are unseen.

  • Advertising ministers to the spiritual side of trade. It is great power that has been entrusted to your keeping which charges you with the high responsibility of inspiring and ennobling the commercial world. It is all part of the greater work of the regeneration and redemption of mankind.
