Coolidge was the vice-president of the United States when Warren Harding died. That is why Coolidge first became president. He later was elected to term of his own.

Actually, it's a misquote, according to the Coolidge Memorial Foundation. He gave the speech in mid-January 1925 and his point was not that business is all that matters. He first said that "The chief business of the American people is business... Of course the accumulation of wealth cannot be justified as the chief end of existence." He went on to conclude that "... We make no concealment of the fact that we want wealth, but there are many other things that we want very much more. We want peace and honor, and that charity which is so strong an element of all civilization." So, he was saying that money and business are important, but they should not dominate our life because other things matter too.

Yes, he was. Taciturn means "reserved or uncommunicative in speech; saying little."

There were a number of jokes that went around about his being a man of few words. I think the people liked that about him. At a formal dinner, he sat next to a society matron who told him she had bet her friends that she could get him to say more than two words. Coolidge said "You lose", and did not say one more word to the woman throughout the dinner.

Another story - He returned from church and someone asked what the sermon was about and he replied ,"Sin". The questioner then asked, " What did the preacher say about sin?" Coolidge said, "He was against it."
