For those who are the inheritors of a noble estate and a high place in the world, it is a good thing to pause at intervals and consider by what favor of fortune and of ancestry their lines have fallen in such pleasant places. Thus to meditate upon that course of events, which has given them what they have and made them what they are, will tend to remind them how great is their debt and how little is their share of merit.

About Calvin Coolidge

John Calvin Coolidge Jr. (4 July 1872 – 5 January 1933) was the 30th president of the United States (1923–29). A Republican lawyer from Vermont, Coolidge worked his way up the ladder of Massachusetts state politics, eventually becoming governor of that state. His response to the Boston Police Strike of 1919 thrust him into the national spotlight and gave him a reputation as a man of decisive action. Soon after, he was elected as the 29th vice president in 1920 and succeeded to the presidency upon the sudden death of Warren G. Harding in 1923. Elected in his own right in 1924, he gained a reputation as a small-government conservative.

Additional quotes by Calvin Coolidge

Không gì trên thế giới có thể thay thế sự kiên trì. Tài năng cũng không phải; bởi ngày nay việc người có tài nhưng không thành đạt đã trở nên quá phổ biến. Thiên tài lại càng không; hình ảnh thiên tài ẩn giấu đã trở thành câu ngạn ngữ ngày nay. Có học vấn cũng không thể, thế giới tràn ngập những người có học bị lãng quên. Chỉ riêng sự kiên trì và quyết tâm mới có tác dụng lớn.

The Constitution of the United States has for its almost sole purpose the protection of the freedom of the people. We must combat every attempt to break down or to make it easy, under the pretended guise of legal procedure, to throw open the way to reaction or revolution. To adopt any other course is to put in jeopardy the sacred right to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness.
