We Cannot Weaken Or Destroy Political Parties

To The American People: Christmas Is Not A Time Or A Season But A State Of Mind. To Cherish Peace And Good Will, To Be Plenteous In Mercy, Is To Have The Real Spirit Of Christmas. If We Think On These Things, There Will Be Born In Us A Savior And Over Us Will Shine A Star Sending Its Gleam Of Hope To The World." ~ Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933), American President. Presidential Message (december 25, 1927).

Wherever We Look, The Work Of The Chemist Has Raised The Level Of Our Civilization And Has Increased The Productive Capacity Of The Nation.

Coolidge Expressed His "sympathy With The Deep And Intense Longing Which Finds Such Fine Expression In The Jewish National Homeland In Palestine."

There Has Been Abroad Many Times Some Criticism Of Our Government, Of Our People, And Our Ways, But That Has Demonstrated, I Think, That When They Are In Real Trouble And Real Difficulty Over There, They Turn To Us As A Nation That Will Be Fair With Them--one In Whose Judgment And In Whose Character They Can Rely; And That Not Withstanding Differences That Have Seemed To Exist, They Are Willing To Abide By The Faith That They Have In Us, And I Think That Is A Very Substantial Accomplishment.

If A Painting Of A Tree Was Only The Exact Representation Of The Original, So That It Looked Just Like The Tree, There Would Be No Reason For Making It; We Might As Well Look At The Tree Itself. But The Painting, If It Is Of The Right Sort, Gives Something That Neither A Photograph Nor A View Of The Tree Conveys. It Emphasizes Something Of Character, Quality, Individuality. We Are Not Lost In Looking At Thorns And Defects; We Catch A Vision Of The Grandeur And Beauty Of A King Of The Forest.
