Calvin Coolidge Comments: "the real reform which society in these days is seeking will come as a result of our religious convictions, or they will not come at all."
"There is no way by which we can substitute the authority of law for the virtue of man. Of course we endeavor to restrain the vicious, and furnish a fair degree of security and protection by legislation and police control, but the real reform which society in these days is seeking will come as a result of our religious convictions, or they will not come at all. Peace, justice, humanity, charity—these cannot be legislated into being. They are the result of divine grace." -- Calvin Coolidge
I'm enjoying your Coolidge posts! Always happy to see the 30th President getting some internet exposure, he deserves it.
