Harry S. Truman
Ignorance and its hand-maidens, prejudice, intolerance, suspicion of our fellowman, breed dictators and breed wars.
Harry S. Truman
May we Americans all live up to our glorious heritage.
Harry S. Truman
The friendless, the weak, the victims of prejudice and public excitement are entitled to the same quality of justice and fair play that the rich, the powerful, the well-connected, and the fellow with pull thinks he can get.

Harry S. Truman
When you can't do any housecleaning because everything that goes on is a damned secret, then we're on our way to something the Founding Fathers didn't have in mind. Secrecy and a free, democratic government don't mix.
Harry S. Truman
Religious and racial persecution is moronic at all times, perhaps the most idiotic of human stupidities.
Harry S. Truman
It is time that all Americans realized that the place of labor is side by side with the businessman and with the farmer, and not one-degree lower.
Harry S. Truman
We must help to the limits of our strength. And we will.
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
The only new thing is history we don't know.
Harry S. Truman
Democrats work to help people who need help. That other party, they work for people who don't need help. That's all there is to it.
Harry S. Truman
I've said many a time that I think the Un-American Activities Committee in the House of Representatives was the most un-American thing in America!
Harry S. Truman
Experience has shown how deeply the seeds of war are planted by economic rivalry and social injustice.
Harry S. Truman
