Calvin Coolidge Quote of the Week


This week's quote is from Coolidge's Commencement address to Amherst College while governor of Massachusetts on June 18, 1919.  Coolidge discussed about the use of knowledge.

Civilization depends not only upon the knowledge of the people, but upon the use they make of it.  If knowledge is wrongfully used, civilization commits suicide.

Thinking of the rationale of many of issues the civilization faces these days, don't many of them stem from the wrong use of 'knowledge?'
