I've acquired an admiration for our thirtieth president, Calvin Coolidge, the poster boy for limited government and parsimonious behavior...I'm hereby instituting a daily tribute to that paragon of "masterful inactivity" in The White House...here is the first installment of Coolidgeisms...maxims and morsels of insight from the president who napped two to three hours a day...
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; Nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb; Education will not; The world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
-Calvin Coolidge
