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?

More quotes by Harry S. Truman
Put an underdog on top and it makes no difference whether his name is Russian, Jewish, Negro, Management, Labor, Mormon, or Baptist he goes haywire. I've found very, very few who remember their past condition when prosperity comes.
Harry S. Truman
The human animal cannot be trusted for anything good except en masse. The combined thought and action of the whole people of any race, creed or nationality, will always point in the right direction.
Harry S. Truman
Despite his unimpressive appearance and manner, he was a brilliant fellow with a crystal-clear mind.... It was just that, when it came time for him to act like an executive, he was like a great many other people when the time comes to make decisions, they have difficulty doing it.
Harry S. Truman
Secrecy and a free, democratic government don't mix.
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
France is France and a grand place for Frenchman.
Harry S. Truman
Millions of our citizens do not now have a full measure of opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health. Millions do not now have protection or security against the economic effects of sickness. The time has arrived for action to help them attain that opportunity and that protection.
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
Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices.
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
Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers.
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
This generation, raised on Eyewitness News, conditioned by the instant replay, and spared the illumination that comes from tedious historical study, tends to be even more ahistorical than most.
Harry S. Truman
You should never form judgments from front page headlines. As with a contract, the fine print on the inside pages should be carefully studied.
Harry S. Truman
We worship money instead of honour.
Harry S. Truman
The responsibility of the great states is to serve, and not to dominate, the world.
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
If you can't convince them, confuse them.
Harry S. Truman
This administration is going to be cussed and discussed for years to come.
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.
