Calvin Coolidge Quote of the Week

Calvin Coolidge-Garo.jpg

This week's Quote of the Week is from President Coolidge's autobiography, written in 1929, regarding humility and the Presidency:

It is a great advantage to the President, and a major source of safety to the country, for him to know that he is not a great man.

Humility of world leaders or leaders in general?  Do we really see that trait these days?
