President Coolidge is an underrated President, but he probably likes it that way. My favorite quote from his six rules is:
“It is a great advantage to a President, and a major source of safety to the country, for him to know that he is not a great man. When a man begins to feel that he is the only one who can lead in this republic, he is guilty of treason to the spirit of our institutions.”
Indeed. Read the whole thing.
My favorite is "Don't hurry to legislate." because “When legislation fails, those who look upon it as a sovereign remedy simply cry out for more legislation.”
