Being President is a little bit like riding a tiger. You have to keep riding, or else you will be swallowed up by it!

Men make history. History does not make the man.

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
I wonder how far Moses would have gone if he'd taken a poll in Egypt? What would Jesus Christ have preached if he'd taken a poll in Israel? Where would the Reformation have gone if Martin Luther had taken a poll?
Harry S. Truman
If we let Korea down, the Soviet[s] will keep right on going and swallow up one [place] after another.
Harry S. Truman
In the simplest of terms, what we are doing in Korea is this: We are trying to prevent a third world war.
Harry S. Truman
Mama and Papa are more to blame (for delinquency) than the kids parents should stay home and raise their children and spend less time in taverns.
Harry S. Truman
Brave men don't belong to any one country. I respect bravery wherever I see it.
Harry S. Truman
When a High Explosive shell bursts in fifteen feet and does you no damage, you can bet your sweet life you bear a charmed life and no mistake.
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 don't feel qualified to be president either, but I've got the job.
Harry S. Truman
Canada is a broad land - broad in mind, broad in spirit, and broad in physical expanse.
Harry S. Truman
