Harry S. Truman
Religious and racial persecution is moronic at all times, perhaps the most idiotic of human stupidities.
Harry S. Truman
He wanted to know what assurance we could give the American people that we aren't getting the tar licked out of us by the North Korean army. It has never happened to us. It won't happen this time.
Harry S. Truman
I believe that we must assist free peoples to work out their own destinies in their own way.
Harry S. Truman
The difficulty with businessmen entering politics, after they've had a successful business career, is that they want to start at the top.
Harry S. Truman
Most of the problems a President has to face have their roots in the past.
Harry S. Truman
It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job it's a depression when you lose yours.
Harry S. Truman
