Harry S. Truman

Harry S. Truman
I never sit on a fence. I am either on one side or another.
Harry S. Truman
Not every reader is a leader, but every leader must be a reader.
Harry S. Truman
No nation on this globe should be more internationally minded than America because it was built by all nations.
Harry S. Truman
When you get to be President, there are all those things, the honors, the twenty-one gun salutes, all those things. You have to remember it isn't for you. It's for the Presidency.
Harry S. Truman
Children and dogs are as necessary to the welfare of the country as Wall Street and the railroads.
Harry S. Truman
We worship money instead of honour.
Harry S. Truman
Our religious faith gives us the answer to the false beliefs of Communism... I have the feeling that God has created us and brought us to our present position of power and strength for some great purpose.
Harry S. Truman
This administration is going to be cussed and discussed for years to come.
Harry S. Truman
I do not believe there is a problem in this country or the world today which could not be settled if approached through the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount.
Harry S. Truman
