More quotes by Harry S. Truman
I fear we are too much concerned with material things to remember that our real strength lies in spiritual values.
Harry S. Truman
Being President is a little bit like riding a tiger. You have to keep riding, or else you will be swallowed up by it!
Harry S. Truman
All my life I have fought against prejudice and intolerance.
Harry S. Truman
Although I hold the highest civil honour in the world, I have always regarded my rank and title as a Past Grand Master of Masons the greatest honour that had ever come to me.
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
The Republican party still helps the rich and sticks a knife in the back of the poor.
Harry S. Truman
Well, I wouldn't say that I was in the great class, but I had a great time while I was trying to be great.
Harry S. Truman
I am proud of my part in the creation of this new state. Our Government was the first to recognize the State of Israel.
Harry S. Truman
A person who is fundamentally honest doesn't need a code of ethics. The Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount are all the ethical code anybody needs.
Harry S. Truman
I never would have agreed to the formulation of the Central Intelligence Agency back in forty-seven, if I had known it would become the American Gestapo.
Harry S. Truman
I felt like the moon, the stars, and all the planets had fallen on me.
Harry S. Truman
I enjoyed my new position as vice president, but it took me a while to get used to the fact that I no longer had the voting privileges I had enjoyed for 10 years as a senator.
Harry S. Truman
If I hadn't been President of the United States, I probably would have ended up a piano player in a bawdy house.
Harry S. Truman
Yours is not the task of making your way in the world, but the task of remaking the world which you will find before you.
Harry S. Truman
Within the first few months I discovered that being president is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep riding or be swallowed. 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
Such an atmosphere is un-American, the most un-American thing we have to contend with today. It is the climate of a totalitarian country in which scientists are expected to change their theories to match changes in the police state's propaganda line.
Harry S. Truman
Most of the problems a President has to face have their roots in the past.
Harry S. Truman
A leader is the man who has the ability to get other people to do what they don't want to do, and like it.
Harry S. Truman
Carry the battle to them. Don't let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don't ever apologize for anything.
Harry S. Truman
In most of my campaigns, I find it is best not to mention my opponent by name because, by doing so, it just gives him a chance to get into the headlines.
Harry S. Truman
