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
If you can't dance then you are a loser.
Harry S. Truman
Children and dogs are as necessary to the welfare of the country as Wall Street and the railroads.
