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
One of the difficulties with all our institutions is the fact that we've emphasized the reward instead of the service.
Harry S. Truman
The United States is not so strong, the final triumph of the democratic ideal is not so inevitable that we can ignore what the world thinks of us or our record.
Harry S. Truman
Selfishness and greed, individual or national, cause most of our troubles.
Harry S. Truman
Experience has shown how deeply the seeds of war are planted by economic rivalry and social injustice.
Harry S. Truman
Whenever the press quits abusing me, I know I'm in the wrong pew.
Harry S. Truman
I believe that we must assist free peoples to work out their own destinies in their own way.
Harry S. Truman
Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.
Harry S. Truman
We fully realize today that victory in war requires a mighty united effort. Certainly, victory in peace calls for, and must receive, an equal effort. Man has learned long ago, that it is impossible to live unto himself. This same basic principle applies today to nations. We were not isolated during the war. We dare not now become isolated in peace.
Harry S. Truman
I don't give a damn about The Missouri Waltz but I can't say it out loud because it's the song of Missouri. It's as bad as The Star-Spangled Banner so far as music is concerned.
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
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
Mama and Papa are more to blame (for delinquency) than the kids parents should stay home and raise their children and spend less time in taverns.
Harry S. Truman
I can deal with Stalin. He is honest, but smart as hell.
Harry S. Truman
I got very well acquainted with Joe Stalin, and I like old Joe! He is a decent fellow. But Joe is a prisoner of the Politburo.
Harry S. Truman
About the meanest thing you can say about a man is that he means well.
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
The newcomers quickly learned their way about and soon felt at home. The Homestead Act of 1862 provided them, as well as many other pioneers, with an opportunity to acquire land and establish family farms. To the land-hungry immigrants, the tough prairie sod seemed a golden opportunity and they conquered it by hard work.
Harry S. Truman
Upon books the collective education of the race depends they are the sole instruments of registering, perpetuating and transmitting thought.
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
I do not understand a mind which sees a gracious beneficence in spending money to slay and maim human beings in almost unimaginable numbers and deprecates the expenditure of a smaller sum to patch up the ills of mankind.
Harry S. Truman
