Coolidge: Sins.
Mrs. Coolidge: Well, what did he say about it?
Coolidge: He was against it.

John H. McKee, Coolidge: Wit and Wisdom, 1933 | Author Nigel Rees claims this is apocryphal | The taciturn President became famous for monosyllabic replies. A story from the twenties has Mrs. Coolidge asking him the subject of a sermon he had heard. "Sin," he answered. When prompted to elaborate on the clergyman's theme, Coolidge is said to have replied: "He was against it." Coolidge remarked that this story would have been funnier if it had been true. | Nigel Rees, Sayings of the Century, page 67.
