“The good people of Dakota offered to give Calvin Coolidge a farm if he would live on it. I wouldn't advise you to give those people too much credit for generosity. There is not a farmer in any State in the West that wouldn't be glad to give him a farm if he will paint it, fix up the fences and keep up the series of mortgages that are on it. And if you think Coolidge ain't smart, you just watch him not take it.”
“No one has ever become poor by giving.”
“I like chicken a lot because chicken is generous - that is to say, it's obedient. It will do whatever you tell it to do.”
