Neither Calvin Coolidge nor his Inaugural Address got many shout-outs. When you're known as "Silent Cal," you don't get quoted a lot.

Historical References

The London Morning Post via The New York Times, "London Paper Calls Coolidge Practical" (March 5, 1925)
The New York Times discussed one London paper's reaction to Coolidge's inaugural. They essentially compliment his ideas, although they seem a bit incredulous as to how realistic his vision of American generosity is (source).

Pop Culture References

NPR, "Inaugural Addresses Offer Window To Past" (January 19, 2009)
This radio segment features clips of every recorded inaugural address, beginning with a clip of Coolidge since he was the first to be broadcast and recorded (source).

Singin' in the Rain (1952)
One scene in this movie classic has the irritating silent film star Lena Lamont proclaiming: "I make more money than…than Calvin Coolidge! Put together!" (The movie takes place in 1927.) We'll bet our last dollar that's the only mention of Calvin Coolidge on the silver screen.
