I don't give a damn about The Missouri Waltz but I can't say it out loud because it's the song of Missouri. It's as bad as The Star-Spangled Banner so far as music is concerned.
Harry S. Truman

Harry S. Truman
I wonder how far Moses would have gone if he'd taken a poll in Egypt? What would Jesus Christ have preached if he'd taken a poll in Israel? Where would the Reformation have gone if Martin Luther had taken a poll?
Harry S. Truman
The Republicans believe in the minimum wage -- the more the minimum, the better.
Harry S. Truman
The Republican Party either corrupts its liberals or it expels them.
Harry S. Truman
A person who is fundamentally honest doesn't need a code of ethics. The Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount are all the ethical code anybody needs.
Harry S. Truman
Any man who has had the job I've had and didn't have a sense of humor wouldn't still be here.
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
Canada is a broad land - broad in mind, broad in spirit, and broad in physical expanse.
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.
