We live in an age of science and of abounding accumulation of material things. These did not create our Declaration. Our Declaration created them. The things of the spirit come first. Unless we cling to that, all of our material prosperity, overwhelming though it may appear, will turn to a barren scepter in our grasp. Calvin Coolidge
1925 speech to newspaper editors (Barron’s November 23, 1998), 30th President of the United States (1923-1929) 1872-1933.
