There's nothing better than cake but more cake.
Harry S. Truman
When you have to deal with a beast, you have to treat him as a beast. It is most regrettable but nevertheless true.

Harry S. Truman
My favorite animal is the mule. He has more horse sense than a horse. He knows when to stop eating - and he knows when to stop working.
Harry S. Truman

Harry S. Truman
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
Ignorance and its hand-maidens, prejudice, intolerance, suspicion of our fellowman, breed dictators and breed wars.
Harry S. Truman
We must help to the limits of our strength. And we will.
Harry S. Truman
Despite his unimpressive appearance and manner, he was a brilliant fellow with a crystal-clear mind.... It was just that, when it came time for him to act like an executive, he was like a great many other people when the time comes to make decisions, they have difficulty doing it.
Harry S. Truman
When you get to be President, there are all those things, the honors, the twenty-one gun salutes, all those things. You have to remember it isn't for you. It's for the Presidency.
Harry S. Truman
If you can't dance then you are a loser.
Harry S. Truman
...as soon as the war was over, they had to justify what was done.
Harry S. Truman
