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
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
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
May we Americans all live up to our glorious heritage.
Harry S. Truman

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
If you want a friend in Washington, buy a dog.
Harry S. Truman
A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties.
Harry S. Truman
The President is always abused. If he isn't, he isn't doing anything.
Harry S. Truman
Our efforts have brought new hope to all mankind. We have beaten back despair and defeatism. We have saved a number of countries from losing their liberty. Hundreds of millions of people all over the world now agree with us, that we need not have war-that we can have peace.
Harry S. Truman
If you don't like the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Harry S. Truman
There is some risk involved in action, there always is. But there is far more risk in failure to act.
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
In the simplest of terms, what we are doing in Korea is this: We are trying to prevent a third world war.
Harry S. Truman
Keep working on a plan. Make no little plans. Make the biggest plan you can think of and spend the rest of your life carrying it out.
Harry S. Truman
