I missed providing a quote for March, so you get a two-fer this post. The first quote is in regards to Coolidge's attitude towards civilization and profits that he provided in a NYC speech on 11/27/1920:
"Civilization and profits go hand and hand."
Now I nearly call that a Coolidge proverb. I guess I just did.
The second quote is in regards to Coolidge's attitude towards criticizing others during the last weeks of his life in an interview he gave on 12/14/1932:
"I do not care to be criticizing those in power. If they succeed, the criticism fails; if they fail, the people find it out as quickly as you can tell them."
Thinking about it, that is true much more often than not, don't you think?
"Civilization and profits go hand and hand." I like this quote very much. Thanks!!
