George Washington’s “Ten Talents” according to the letter from John Adams, now in full:
1. A handsome face. 2. A tall stature. 3. An elegant form. 4. Graceful attitudes and movements. 5. A large imposing fortune. 6. Washington was a Virginian (this is equivalent to Five Talents). 7. Washington was preceded by favorable anecdotes. 8. He possessed the gift of silence. 9. He had great self command. 10. When he’d lose his temper, people would hide it from being known to the world.

I wonder if it would be possible to identify the “Ten Talents” of our other Presidents.

I see that Jefferson’s wine glass took a hit!

Never forget those he had murdered at Valley Forge because they wanted to go home to their families and were not under any written contract to stay.

I wish certain people who post on this site were possessed of the gift of silence.
