Variante: Calvin Coolidge aveva i capelli rossi, gli occhi azzurri e il più marcato accento nasale che la Nuova Inghilterra avesse mai prodotto. Si diceva che la parola cow pronunciata da lui avesse almeno quattro sillabe. Ma Coolidge aveva diritto di stiracchiar le parole, dato che ne diceva pochissime. Per natura, per educazione e soprattutto perché non aveva nulla da dire era sempre stato silenzioso. (p. 497)

“A man's power and intelligence are limited. He who wants to do everything will never do anything.”
Un Art de Vivre (The Art of Living) (1939), The Art of Working
Contesto: A man's power and intelligence are limited. He who wants to do everything will never do anything. Only too well do we know those people of uncertain ability who say: "I could be a great musician."..."Business would be easy for me."..."I could surely make success in politics." We may be certain that they will always be amateur musicians, failures in business, and beaten politicians. Napoleon held that the art of war consisted of making oneself strongest at a certain point; in life we must choose a point of attack and concentrate our forces there. The choice of a career must not be left to chance.
Quoted by Will Durant in On the Meaning of Life http://books.google.com/books?id=XH5HAAAAIAAJ&q=%22Either+the+soul+is+immortal+and+we+shall+not+die+or+it+perishes+with+the+flesh+and+we+shall+not+know+that+we+are+dead+Live+then+as+if+you+were+eternal%22&pg=PA53#v=onepage (1932)
Contesto: What shall we know of our death? Either the soul is immortal and we shall not die, or it perishes with the flesh and we shall not know that we are dead. Live, then, as if you were eternal, and do not believe that your life has changed merely because it seems proved that the Earth is empty. You do not live in the Earth, you live in yourself.
