Calvin Coolidge Quote of the Week

This week's quote President Coolidge addresses the idea that politicians need to be loquacious to be an effective politician.  A reporter asked President Coolidge at a September 16, 1924 press conference about his taciturn disposition.  President Coolidge's response speaks for itself:

"I don't recall any candidate for President that ever injured himself very much by not talking."

Folks don't call him "Silent Cal" for no reason.
