Harry S. Truman

Harry S. Truman
Some of my best friends never agree with me politically.
Harry S. Truman
If you can't convince them, confuse them.
Harry S. Truman
We must help to the limits of our strength. And we will.
Harry S. Truman
Whenever a fellow tells me he's bipartisan, I know he's going to vote against me.
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
Any story worth telling is worth exaggerating.
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
