More quotes by Harry S. Truman
I sincerely regret the unfortunate choice of language which I used in my letter of August 29 to Congressman McDonough concerning the Marine Corps.
Harry S. Truman
Millions do not now have protection or security against the economic effects of sickness.
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
Being too good is apt to be uninteresting.
Harry S. Truman
May we Americans all live up to our glorious heritage.
Harry S. Truman
Canadian-American relations for many years did not develop spontaneously. The example of accord provided by our two countries did not come about merely through the happy circumstance of geography. It is compounded of one part proximity and nine parts good will and common sense.
Harry S. Truman
The Marine Corps is the Navy's police force and as long as I am President that is what it will remain. They have a propaganda machine that is almost equal to Stalin's.
Harry S. Truman
The White House is the finest prison in the world.
Harry S. Truman
Prosperous farmers make for a prosperous nation, and when farmers are in trouble, the nation is in trouble.
Harry S. Truman
Most of the problems a President has to face have their roots in the past.
Harry S. Truman
We worship money instead of honour.
Harry S. Truman
This generation, raised on Eyewitness News, conditioned by the instant replay, and spared the illumination that comes from tedious historical study, tends to be even more ahistorical than most.
Harry S. Truman
Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.
Harry S. Truman
There are always a lot of people so afraid of rocking the boat that they stop rowing. We can never get ahead that way.
Harry S. Truman
I have little patience with people who take the Bill of Rights for granted. The Bill of Rights, contained in the first ten amendments to the Constitution, is every American's guarantee of freedom.
Harry S. Truman
Given the choice between a Republican and someone who acts like a Republican, people will vote for the real Republican all the time
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
The newcomers quickly learned their way about and soon felt at home. The Homestead Act of 1862 provided them, as well as many other pioneers, with an opportunity to acquire land and establish family farms. To the land-hungry immigrants, the tough prairie sod seemed a golden opportunity and they conquered it by hard work.
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
I think there is an immense shortage of Christian charity among so-called Christians.
Harry S. Truman
