Calvin Coolidge actually said...

"I have already expressed several times to the conference my appreciation of the very fine work that the present Congress is doing."

"It is in that direction especially that I want to avoid increases, so far as we can."

"There is no intention, so far as I know, to make any appeal for gifts of Colonial furniture for the White House."

"A great many products go into building, and when that industry is flourishing it creates a demand for all kinds of supplies and has a beneficial influence on all kinds of production."
