Calvin Coolidge actually said...

"I think this—that the Governor Generalship of the Philippine Islands would probably be better administered, as any civil office would be, by a man who didn't have a predominantly military type of mind..."

"I do not think the question of whether a man might be called a military man or not is one of very great importance in relation to the Governor Generalship of the Philippine Islands."

"This is built, stone upon stone, forming a solid and harmonious structure, just as America is composed of 48 States joined by the cohesive power of our Constitution."

"I am expecting to go."
