Calvin Coolidge Quote of the Week

Calvin Coolidge-Garo.jpg
This week's quote is from President Coolidge's essay "On the Nature of Politics" in his book Have Faith In Massachusetts  where he talks about his philosophy on reform.

"Laws do not make reforms, reforms make laws.  We cannot look to government.  We must look to ourselves.  We must stand not in expectation of a reward but a desire to serve.  There will come out of government exactly what is put into it."

Government is not the first solution.  How foreign a concept is that to our society?
