Simple, Homely Virtues
 


"All the elaborate functions of the government will be of no avail, unless there abide in the people the simple, homely virtues of industry and thrift, honesty and charity. 

"Without these characteristics there can be no advance in the general effectiveness of the government or the general welfare of the people. 

"All of our natural resources, all of our attempted industrial organization, all of our guarantees of freedom will avail nothing without the support of character. 

"There can be no national greatness which does not rest upon the personal integrity of the people."

 -Calvin Coolidge
