More quotes by Harry S. Truman

Tact is the ability to step on a man's toes without messing up the shine on his shoes.
Harry S. Truman
I wonder how far Moses would have gone if he had taken a poll in Egypt? What would Jesus Christ have preached if He had taken a poll in the land of Israel? Where would the Reformation have gone if Martin Luther had taken a poll? It isn't polls or public opinion alone of the moment that counts.
Harry S. Truman
Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.
Harry S. Truman
It is time that all Americans realized that the place of labor is side by side with the businessman and with the farmer, and not one-degree lower.
Harry S. Truman
Whenever a fellow tells me he's bipartisan, I know he's going to vote against me.
Harry S. Truman
Always be sincere, even if you don't mean it.
Harry S. Truman

Harry S. Truman
France is France and a grand place for Frenchman.
Harry S. Truman
If you want to get elected, shake hands with 25, 000 people between and November 7.
Harry S. Truman
Being President is a little bit like riding a tiger. You have to keep riding, or else you will be swallowed up by it!
Harry S. Truman
The President hears a hundred voices telling him that he is the greatest man in the world. He must listen carefully indeed to hear the one voice that tells him his is not.
Harry S. Truman
The President is always abused. If he isn't, he isn't doing anything.
Harry S. Truman
Children and dogs are as necessary to the welfare of the country as Wall Street and the railroads.
Harry S. Truman
I had carefully read the Balfour Declaration. I had familiarized myself with the history of the question of a Jewish homeland and the position of the British and the Arabs. I was skeptical, as I read over the whole record up to date, about some of the views and attitudes assumed by the 'striped-pants boys' in the State Department.
Harry S. Truman
A President cannot always be popular.
