It's plain hokum. If you can't convince 'em, confuse 'em. It's an old political trick. But this time it won't work.

More quotes by Harry S. Truman
With firm faith in our hearts, to sustain us along the hard road to victory, we will find our way to a secure peace, for the ultimate benefit of all humanity.
Harry S. Truman
This attack has made it clear, beyond all doubt, that the international Communist movement is willing to use armed invasion to conquer independent nations. An act of aggression such as this creates a very real danger to the security of all free nations.
Harry S. Truman
I would rather have peace in the world than be President.
Harry S. Truman
Being President is a little bit like riding a tiger. You have to keep riding, or else you will be swallowed up by it!
Harry S. Truman
A person who is fundamentally honest doesn't need a code of ethics. The Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount are all the ethical code anybody needs.
Harry S. Truman
The greatest honor that has come to me, and that can ever come to me in my life, is to be Grand Master of Masons in Missouri.
Harry S. Truman
Most of the problems a President has to face have their roots in the past.
Harry S. Truman
We must have strong minds, ready to accept facts as they are.
Harry S. Truman
A President cannot always be popular.
Harry S. Truman
It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job it's a depression when you lose yours.
Harry S. Truman
We fully realize today that victory in war requires a mighty united effort. Certainly, victory in peace calls for, and must receive, an equal effort. Man has learned long ago, that it is impossible to live unto himself. This same basic principle applies today to nations. We were not isolated during the war. We dare not now become isolated in peace.
Harry S. Truman
If you want to get elected, shake hands with 25, 000 people between and November 7.
Harry S. Truman
Peace is precious to us. It is the way of life we strive for with all the strength and wisdom we possess. But more precious than peace are freedom and justice. We will fight, if fight we must, to keep our freedom and to prevent justice from being destroyed.
Harry S. Truman
I always remember an epitaph which is in the cemetery at Tombstone, Arizona. It says: 'Here lies Jack Williams. He done his damnedest.' I think that is the greatest epitaph a man can have - When he gives everything that is in him to do the job he has before him. That is all you can ask of him and that is what I have tried to do.
Harry S. Truman
The White House is the finest prison in the world.
Harry S. Truman
We must earn the peace we seek just as we earned victory in the war, not by wishful thinking but by realistic effort. At no time in our history has unity among our people been so vital as it is at the present time. Unity of purpose, unity of effort, and unity of spirit are essential to accomplish the task before us.
Harry S. Truman
The President hears a hundred voices telling him that he is the greatest man in the world. He must listen carefully indeed to hear the one voice that tells him his is not.
Harry S. Truman
I never sit on a fence. I am either on one side or another.
Harry S. Truman
One of the presidents we could have done without.... There are some things I admire about Tyler, but there were also plenty of things that weren't so admirable.... The reason I have a certain amount of grudging respect for John Tyler is that he knew his own mind and stuck to his decisions.
Harry S. Truman
There is enough in the world for everyone to have plenty, to live happily, and to be at peace with his neighbors.
Harry S. Truman
