More quotes by 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
With firm faith in our hearts, to sustain us along the hard road to victory, we will find our way to a secure peace, for the ultimate benefit of all humanity.
Harry S. Truman
My father was not a failure. After all, he was the father of a president of the United States.
Harry S. Truman

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
If you don't like the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Harry S. Truman
I remember when I first came to Washington. For the first six months you wonder how the hell you ever got here. For the next six months you wonder how the hell the rest of them ever got here.
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
Being too good is apt to be uninteresting.
Harry S. Truman

Secrecy and a free, democratic government don't mix.
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
Brave men don't belong to any one country. I respect bravery wherever I see it.
