I don't want this office, this responsibility, any longer, even if you want me. Find the strongest and most able and God bless you. Good-bye.
Harry S. Truman
Men make history. History does not make the man.
Harry S. Truman
When a leader is in the Democratic Party he's a boss. When he's in the Republican Party he's nothing but a leader.
Harry S. Truman
