More quotes by Harry S. Truman
I like riding a bicycle built for two--by myself.
Harry S. Truman
The Republican party still helps the rich and sticks a knife in the back of the poor.
Harry S. Truman
Canada is a broad land - broad in mind, broad in spirit, and broad in physical expanse.
Harry S. Truman
The way in which you endure that which you must endure is more important than the crisis itself.
Harry S. Truman
Peace is precious to us. It is the way of life we strive for with all the strength and wisdom we possess. But more precious than peace are freedom and justice. We will fight, if fight we must, to keep our freedom and to prevent justice from being destroyed.
Harry S. Truman
Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.
Harry S. Truman
When you can't do any housecleaning because everything that goes on is a damned secret, then we're on our way to something the Founding Fathers didn't have in mind. Secrecy and a free, democratic government don't mix.
Harry S. Truman
No one who has not had the responsibility can really understand what it is like to be President, not even his closest aides or members of his immediate family. There is no end to the chain of responsibility that binds him, and he is never allowed to forget that he is President.
Harry S. Truman
It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job it's a depression when you lose yours.
Harry S. Truman
When a leader is in the Democratic Party he's a boss. When he's in the Republican Party he's nothing but a leader.
Harry S. Truman
I do not understand a mind which sees a gracious beneficence in spending money to slay and maim human beings in almost unimaginable numbers and deprecates the expenditure of a smaller sum to patch up the ills of mankind.
Harry S. Truman
Not every reader is a leader, but every leader must be a reader.
Harry S. Truman
The only new thing is history we don't know.
Harry S. Truman
We must earn the peace we seek just as we earned victory in the war, not by wishful thinking but by realistic effort. At no time in our history has unity among our people been so vital as it is at the present time. Unity of purpose, unity of effort, and unity of spirit are essential to accomplish the task before us.
Harry S. Truman
Men make history. History does not make the man.
Harry S. Truman
A leader has to lead otherwise he has no business in politics.
Harry S. Truman
I never sit on a fence. I am either on one side or another.
Harry S. Truman
We believe that all men are created equal because they are created in the image of God
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
The United States should not under any circumstances throw away our gun until we are sure the rest of the world cannot arm against us.
Harry S. Truman
