More quotes by Harry S. Truman
We all have to recognise - no matter how great our strength - that we must deny ourselves the licence to do always as we please.
Harry S. Truman
Put an underdog on top and it makes no difference whether his name is Russian, Jewish, Negro, Management, Labor, Mormon, or Baptist he goes haywire. I've found very, very few who remember their past condition when prosperity comes.
Harry S. Truman
I fear we are too much concerned with material things to remember that our real strength lies in spiritual values.
Harry S. Truman
I had carefully read the Balfour Declaration. I had familiarized myself with the history of the question of a Jewish homeland and the position of the British and the Arabs. I was skeptical, as I read over the whole record up to date, about some of the views and attitudes assumed by the 'striped-pants boys' in the State Department.
Harry S. Truman
It isn't polls or public opinion at the moment that counts. It is right and wrong and leadership--men with fortitude, honesty, and a belief in the right that makes epochs in the history of the world.
Harry S. Truman
I don't feel qualified to be president either, but I've got the job.
Harry S. Truman
This generation, raised on Eyewitness News, conditioned by the instant replay, and spared the illumination that comes from tedious historical study, tends to be even more ahistorical than most.
Harry S. Truman
Canada is a broad land - broad in mind, broad in spirit, and broad in physical expanse.
Harry S. Truman
All my life I have fought against prejudice and intolerance.
Harry S. Truman
We must build a new world, a far better world - one in which the eternal dignity of man is respected.
Harry S. Truman
The most peaceful thing in the world is plowing a field. Chances are you’ll do your best thinking that way.
Harry S. Truman
Well, I wouldn't say that I was in the great class, but I had a great time while I was trying to be great.
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
Mama and Papa are more to blame (for delinquency) than the kids parents should stay home and raise their children and spend less time in taverns.
Harry S. Truman
About the meanest thing you can say about a man is that he means well.
Harry S. Truman
France is France and a grand place for Frenchman.
Harry S. Truman
The Republican Party either corrupts its liberals or it expels them.
Harry S. Truman
Some questions cannot be answered, but they can be decided.
Harry S. Truman
Canada and the United States have reached the point where we no longer think of each other as 'foreign' countries. We think of each other as friends, as peaceful and cooperative neighbors on a spacious and fruitful continent.
Harry S. Truman
Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices.
Harry S. Truman
