Harry S. Truman
The United States has become great because we, as a people, have been able to work together for great objectives even while differing about details.
Harry S. Truman
Yours is not the task of making your way in the world, but the task of remaking the world which you will find before you.

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
A leader has to lead otherwise he has no business in politics.
Harry S. Truman

Harry S. Truman
Brave men don't belong to any one country. I respect bravery wherever I see it.
Harry S. Truman

Harry S. Truman
It is ignorance that causes most mistakes.
Harry S. Truman
The atom bomb was no “great decision.” It was used in the war, and for your information, there were more people killed by fire bombs in Tokyo than dropping of the atomic bombs accounted for. It was merely another powerful weapon in the arsenal of righteousness. The dropping of the bombs stopped the war, save millions of lives.
Harry S. Truman
