Here’s wishing all of you out there who happen to be reading this in time for New Year’s a very happy, healthy, successful and all around blessed New Year 2012, which will see the 140th anniversary of Calvin Coolidge’s birthday and, we hope, will also see the publication of Amity Shlaes’ all-new biography.
And here, for all of you struggling with the question of what resolutions to make for the new year, wise counsel from the 30th president:
“Perhaps the best resolve is to live so that next year’s new resolutions will be unnecessary.”
(from the daily Calvin Coolidge Says column, Dec. 30, 1930)
