“We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once.” -President Calvin Coolidge
Calvin Coolidge is perhaps known best for his stoic, cool (pun intended) nature. He didn’t smile a lot, wasn’t super social, and he didn’t even say very much. An old story goes that a woman who was seated next to him at a state dinner said “Mr. President, I bet a friend that I could get you to say more than two words tonight.” He looked at her and said “You lose.”
Historians have long viewed him as getting nothing done and having no drive. It turns out, though, that there may have been a logical reason for it.
