“I can please none of the people all of the time,” reads to me as there is no one you can please every time; i.e. you will disappoint everyone at some point. Which I feel is as true as not being able to please everyone.
“all of the people none of the time” means you will never please 100% of everyone. As in, maybe some people, but not everyone.
“none of the people all of the time” means you will always please 0% of people.
Do you mean all of the people none of the time?
Same difference

“I can please none of the people all of the time,” equates to, “I can always please no one,” or… “I can never please anyone.”
This is not the same as, “I can please all of the people none of the time,” which is, “I can never please everyone.”
