Harry S. Truman
But all of us-at home, at war, wherever we may be-are within the reach of God's love and power. We all can pray. We all should pray. We should ask the fulfillment of God's will.

Harry S. Truman
Keep working on a plan. Make no little plans. Make the biggest plan you can think of and spend the rest of your life carrying it out.
Harry S. Truman
Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.
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
The newcomers quickly learned their way about and soon felt at home. The Homestead Act of 1862 provided them, as well as many other pioneers, with an opportunity to acquire land and establish family farms. To the land-hungry immigrants, the tough prairie sod seemed a golden opportunity and they conquered it by hard work.
Harry S. Truman
About the meanest thing you can say about a man is that he means well.
Harry S. Truman
I can deal with Stalin. He is honest, but smart as hell.
