Calvin Coolidge was president of the United States during the roaring twenties. He may best know him for his nickname- “Silent Cal” -given for his taciturn ways.
Probably, the most famous story told about him concerned a formal White House dinner he was giving. A woman attending the dinner told the president, “I bet someone, I could get you to say three words.”
“You lose,” he replied.
A quiet nature can be a quality much desired—just ask my mother.
Prov. 17:28 Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.
