Today we remember the Virginian George Washington, but, since it is now called "Presidents Day," why not remember this fine Vermonter too:
"The people cannot look to legislation generally for success. Industry, thrift, character, are not conferred by act of resolve. Government cannot relieve from toil."
Calvin Coolidge
