Calvin Coolidge Quote of the Week

Calvin Coolidge-Garo.jpg

While a day late, but with President Coolidge wisdom is never short.  This week's quote comes from a message he gave as Governor of Massachusetts on June 6, 1919.  Governor Coolidge had just vetoed a bill that would raise legislators pay 50 percent.

"No person was ever honored for what he received; honor has been received for what he gave."

Thinking about many in society today, including public servants, how many of them would be better off heeding the wisdom for this statement?
