More quotes by Harry S. Truman
Brave men don't belong to any one country. I respect bravery wherever I see it.
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
A leader is the man who has the ability to get other people to do what they don't want to do, and like it.
Harry S. Truman
As you get older, you get tired of doing the same things over and over again, so you think Christmas has changed. It hasn't. It's you who has changed.
Harry S. Truman
The world has experienced a revival of an old faith in the everlasting moral force of justice. At no time in history has there been a more important Conference, or a more necessary meeting, than this one in San Francisco, which you are opening today.
Harry S. Truman
A man cannot have character unless he lives within a fundamental system of morals that creates character.
Harry S. Truman
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.
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
Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.
Harry S. Truman
The Republican Party either corrupts its liberals or it expels them.
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
The most peaceful thing in the world is plowing a field. Chances are you’ll do your best thinking that way.
Harry S. Truman
I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.
Harry S. Truman
Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers.
Harry S. Truman
I don't feel qualified to be president either, but I've got the job.
Harry S. Truman
This government has been informed that a Jewish state has been proclaimed in Palestine, and recognition has been requested by the provisional government thereof. The United States recognizes the provisional government as the de facto authority of the new State of Israel.
Harry S. Truman
Whenever a fellow tells me he's bipartisan, I know he's going to vote against me.
Harry S. Truman
Selfishness and greed, individual or national, cause most of our troubles.
Harry S. Truman
If I'd known how much packing I'd have to do, I'd have run again.
Harry S. Truman
Not every reader is a leader, but every leader must be a reader.
Harry S. Truman
