More quotes by Harry S. Truman
I can always get along with an honest friend.
Harry S. Truman
The United States has become great because we, as a people, have been able to work together for great objectives even while differing about details.
Harry S. Truman
You know of our sympathetic interest in this country in Iran's desire to control its natural resources. From this point of view we were happy to see that the British Government has on its part accepted the principle of nationalization.
Harry S. Truman
We must earn the peace we seek just as we earned victory in the war, not by wishful thinking but by realistic effort. At no time in our history has unity among our people been so vital as it is at the present time. Unity of purpose, unity of effort, and unity of spirit are essential to accomplish the task before us.
Harry S. Truman
The absence of war is not peace.
Harry S. Truman
We must help to the limits of our strength. And we will.
Harry S. Truman

Millions do not now have protection or security against the economic effects of sickness.
Harry S. Truman
I wonder how far Moses would have gone if he had taken a poll in Egypt? What would Jesus Christ have preached if He had taken a poll in the land of Israel? Where would the Reformation have gone if Martin Luther had taken a poll? It isn't polls or public opinion alone of the moment that counts.
Harry S. Truman
Despite his unimpressive appearance and manner, he was a brilliant fellow with a crystal-clear mind.... It was just that, when it came time for him to act like an executive, he was like a great many other people when the time comes to make decisions, they have difficulty doing it.
Harry S. Truman
It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job it's a depression when you lose yours.
Harry S. Truman
I have little patience with people who take the Bill of Rights for granted. The Bill of Rights, contained in the first ten amendments to the Constitution, is every American's guarantee of freedom.
Harry S. Truman
I don't want this office, this responsibility, any longer, even if you want me. Find the strongest and most able and God bless you. Good-bye.
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 greatest honor that has come to me, and that can ever come to me in my life, is to be Grand Master of Masons in Missouri.
Harry S. Truman
Any man who has had the job I've had and didn't have a sense of humor wouldn't still be here.
Harry S. Truman
The most peaceful thing in the world is plowing a field. Chances are you’ll do your best thinking that way.
Harry S. Truman
Why, this fellow doesn't know any more about politics than a pig knows about Sunday.
Harry S. Truman
It is through generous giving, that we affirm before the world, our nation's faith in the inalienable right of every man, to a life of freedom, justice and security.
Harry S. Truman
No one who has not had the responsibility can really understand what it is like to be President, not even his closest aides or members of his immediate family. There is no end to the chain of responsibility that binds him, and he is never allowed to forget that he is President.
Harry S. Truman
