More quotes by 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
We worship money instead of honour.
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
I believe that we must assist free peoples to work out their own destinies in their own way.
Harry S. Truman

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

Harry S. Truman
An honest public servant can't become rich in politics. He can only attain greatness and satisfaction by service.
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
Ignorance and its hand-maidens, prejudice, intolerance, suspicion of our fellowman, breed dictators and breed wars.
Harry S. Truman
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?
Harry S. Truman
There is some risk involved in action, there always is. But there is far more risk in failure to act.
Harry S. Truman
Most of the problems a President has to face have their roots in the past.
Harry S. Truman
I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.
Harry S. Truman
Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.
Harry S. Truman
It isn't important who is ahead at one time or another, in either an election or a horse race. It's the horse that comes in first at the finish that counts
