Religious and racial persecution is moronic at all times, perhaps the most idiotic of human stupidities.

We dare not now become isolated in peace.

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
Experience has shown how deeply the seeds of war are planted by economic rivalry and social injustice.
Harry S. Truman
An honest public servant can't become rich in politics. He can only attain greatness and satisfaction by service.
