More quotes by Harry S. Truman
Religious and racial persecution is moronic at all times, perhaps the most idiotic of human stupidities.
Harry S. Truman
I wonder how far Moses would have gone if he'd taken a poll in Egypt? What would Jesus Christ have preached if he'd taken a poll in Israel? Where would the Reformation have gone if Martin Luther had taken a poll?
Harry S. Truman
I never would have agreed to the formulation of the Central Intelligence Agency back in forty-seven, if I had known it would become the American Gestapo.
Harry S. Truman
Being too good is apt to be uninteresting.
Harry S. Truman
Men make history. History does not make the man.
Harry S. Truman
When even one American - who has done nothing wrong - is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth - then all Americans are in peril.
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
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
Democracy alone can supply the vitalizing force to stir the peoples of the world into triumphant action, not only against their human oppressors, but also against their ancient enemies-hunger, misery, and despair.
Harry S. Truman
We must have strong minds, ready to accept facts as they are.
Harry S. Truman
I like riding a bicycle built for two--by myself.
Harry S. Truman
Today, America has become one of the most powerful forces for good on earth. We must keep it so.
Harry S. Truman
The friendless, the weak, the victims of prejudice and public excitement are entitled to the same quality of justice and fair play that the rich, the powerful, the well-connected, and the fellow with pull thinks he can get.
Harry S. Truman
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.
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
The difficulty with businessmen entering politics, after they've had a successful business career, is that they want to start at the top.
Harry S. Truman
Experience has shown how deeply the seeds of war are planted by economic rivalry and social injustice.
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 United States has become great because we, as a people, have been able to work together for great objectives even while differing about details.
Harry S. Truman
It's tougher to be a football coach than the President of the United States. You've got four years as a president, and they guard you. A football coach doesn't have anyone to protect him when things go wrong.
Harry S. Truman
