Calvin Coolidge actually said...

"I think there was a British reviewer of books—supposed to be a great authority—who said he never read a book before he reviewed it because it might prejudice him."

"I have no disposition to say anything about it, and until something develops I think in the future you may expect that I will not make any comment about it."

"There is one problem that I have to keep under constant emphasis, and that is economy and government expenditures."

"I think that in the past few weeks I have detected some evidences that in the coming session of Congress a good many efforts are going to be put forth to secure considerable expenditures of money."
