More quotes by Harry S. Truman
Most of the problems a President has to face have their roots in the past.
Harry S. Truman
Within the first few months I discovered that being president is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep riding or be swallowed. The fantastically crowded nine months of 1945 taught me that a President either is constantly on top of events or, if he hesitates, events will soon be on top of him. I never felt I could let up for a single moment.
Harry S. Truman
My father was not a failure. After all, he was the father of a president of the United States.
Harry S. Truman
We believe that all men are created equal because they are created in the image of God
Harry S. Truman
Most of the time most people know the right thing to do ...its the doing of it that gives them trouble
Harry S. Truman
I said that an expert was a fella who was afraid to learn anything new because then he wouldn't be an expert anymore.
Harry S. Truman
This administration is going to be cussed and discussed for years to come.
Harry S. Truman
Carry the battle to them. Don't let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don't ever apologize for anything.
Harry S. Truman
France is France and a grand place for Frenchman.
Harry S. Truman
The Republican Party either corrupts its liberals or it expels them.
Harry S. Truman
The fundamental basis of this Nation's law was given to Moses on the Mount. The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings which we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul.
Harry S. Truman
Sixteen hours ago an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima. . . . The force from which the sun draws its power has been loosed against those who brought war to the Far East.
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
An honest public servant can't become rich in politics. He can only attain greatness and satisfaction by service.
Harry S. Truman
Religious and racial persecution is moronic at all times, perhaps the most idiotic of human stupidities.
Harry S. Truman
Partisanship must end at the waters edge.
Harry S. Truman
I remember when I first came to Washington. For the first six months you wonder how the hell you ever got here. For the next six months you wonder how the hell the rest of them ever got here.
Harry S. Truman
If you don't have your own goals, you'll be doomed to work toward someone else's.
Harry S. Truman
You can always amend a big plan, but you can never expand a little one. I don't believe in little plans. I believe in plans big enough to meet a situation which we can't possibly foresee now.
Harry S. Truman
It's plain hokum. If you can't convince 'em, confuse 'em. It's an old political trick. But this time it won't work.
Harry S. Truman
