You can always amend a big plan, but you can never expand a little one. I don't believe in little plans. I believe in plans big enough to meet a situation which we can't possibly foresee now.

If you want a friend in Washington, buy a dog.
Harry S. Truman
I remember when I first came to Washington. For the first six months you wonder how the hell you ever got here. For the next six months you wonder how the hell the rest of them ever got here.
Harry S. Truman
My father was not a failure. After all, he was the father of a president of the United States.
Harry S. Truman
If we do not abolish war on this earth, then surely one day war will abolish us from the earth.

Harry S. Truman
The way in which you endure that which you must endure is more important than the crisis itself.
Harry S. Truman
Our efforts have brought new hope to all mankind. We have beaten back despair and defeatism. We have saved a number of countries from losing their liberty. Hundreds of millions of people all over the world now agree with us, that we need not have war-that we can have peace.
Harry S. Truman
Brave men don't belong to any one country. I respect bravery wherever I see it.
Harry S. Truman
The Republicans believe in the minimum wage -- the more the minimum, the better.
Harry S. Truman
Within the first few months I discovered that being president is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep riding or be swallowed. The fantastically crowded nine months of 1945 taught me that a President either is constantly on top of events or, if he hesitates, events will soon be on top of him. I never felt I could let up for a single moment.
Harry S. Truman
Keep working on a plan. Make no little plans. Make the biggest plan you can think of and spend the rest of your life carrying it out.
Harry S. Truman
I would rather have peace in the world than be President.
Harry S. Truman
It is understanding that gives us an ability to have peace.
Harry S. Truman
We must help to the limits of our strength. And we will.
Harry S. Truman
One of the difficulties with all our institutions is the fact that we've emphasized the reward instead of the service.
Harry S. Truman
