Calvin Coolidge actually said...

"I think it is due to me when I make a statement that they [the members of the conference] wait to see what the statement is before they rush out."

"Well, I think that his qualifications ought to be presented to the Senate and go into the record, and that is one of the reasons why I have re-submitted his name."

"I want them to be honest and conscientious and desirous of performing public service, but I cannot find any men who quite come up to that standard and I doubt if there are any in existence."

"Now, of course I have to appoint human beings to office."
