Other advice that Calvin had for Walker is to not rely on All Season Radials in the winter. Go the extra mile and get a decent set of snow tires. Studs couldn't hurt either. Coolidge is a wealth of solid advice.

Another statement for which Coolidge became known (and which liberals hate) is: “The business of America is business.” A little historical anecdote about Coolidge: He was known as “Silent Cal” because, unlike most politicians, he only spoke when he felt it was important to speak. And when he did speak it was in a very concise manner. In other words, he wasn’t a typical windbag politician. Anyway, a reporter once said to Coolidge that he had a bet with a friend that he could get Coolidge to say more than two words in a private conversation. Coolidge looked at the reporter and said to him, “You lose,” and turned away. Cal had a very dry and keen sense of humor as that illustrates.
Put another way, in a lifetime of studying the presidents - and photographs of the presidents in particular - that is literally the first one I can remember that managed to capture Cal with anything resembling a smile.
Check it for yourself!
He's almost always photographed with the same thin-lipped, albeit "no-nonsense" flat and "Vulcan" expression, not a frown but not a smile, either.
Live long and prosper...
