More quotes by 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
It's plain hokum. If you can't convince 'em, confuse 'em. It's an old political trick. But this time it won't work.
Harry S. Truman
I don't give a damn about The Missouri Waltz but I can't say it out loud because it's the song of Missouri. It's as bad as The Star-Spangled Banner so far as music is concerned.
Harry S. Truman
The United States is not so strong, the final triumph of the democratic ideal is not so inevitable that we can ignore what the world thinks of us or our record.
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
Being too good is apt to be uninteresting.
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
I never sit on a fence. I am either on one side or another.
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
Democrats work to help people who need help. That other party, they work for people who don't need help. That's all there is to it.
Harry S. Truman
There is enough in the world for everyone to have plenty, to live happily, and to be at peace with his neighbors.
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
You can always amend a big plan, but you can never expand a little one. I don't believe in little plans. I believe in plans big enough to meet a situation which we can't possibly foresee now.
Harry S. Truman
I said that an expert was a fella who was afraid to learn anything new because then he wouldn't be an expert anymore.
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
We must build a new world, a far better world - one in which the eternal dignity of man is respected.
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
It isn't polls or public opinion at the moment that counts. It is right and wrong and leadership--men with fortitude, honesty, and a belief in the right that makes epochs in the history of the world.
Harry S. Truman
We must help to the limits of our strength. And we will.
Harry S. Truman
Canada is a broad land - broad in mind, broad in spirit, and broad in physical expanse.
Harry S. Truman
