More quotes by Harry S. Truman

Harry S. Truman
The Republican Party either corrupts its liberals or it expels them.
Harry S. Truman

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

Today, America has become one of the most powerful forces for good on earth. We must keep it so.
Harry S. Truman
Everybody has the right to express what he thinks. That, of course, lets the crackpots in. But if you cannot tell a crackpot when you see one, then you ought to be taken in.
Harry S. Truman
America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.
Harry S. Truman
It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job it's a depression when you lose yours.
Harry S. Truman
The President is always abused. If he isn't, he isn't doing anything.
Harry S. Truman
There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know.
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
Men make history. History does not make the man.
Harry S. Truman
If you want a friend in Washington, buy a dog.
