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
The United States should not under any circumstances throw away our gun until we are sure the rest of the world cannot arm against us.
Harry S. Truman
If you don't like the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Harry S. Truman
No nation on this globe should be more internationally minded than America because it was built by all nations.
