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

Harry S. Truman
I can deal with Stalin. He is honest, but smart as hell.
