More quotes by Harry S. Truman
Being too good is apt to be uninteresting.
Harry S. Truman
Such an atmosphere is un-American, the most un-American thing we have to contend with today. It is the climate of a totalitarian country in which scientists are expected to change their theories to match changes in the police state's propaganda line.
Harry S. Truman
It is understanding that gives us an ability to have peace.
Harry S. Truman
I enjoyed my new position as vice president, but it took me a while to get used to the fact that I no longer had the voting privileges I had enjoyed for 10 years as a senator.
Harry S. Truman

Harry S. Truman
He wanted to know what assurance we could give the American people that we aren't getting the tar licked out of us by the North Korean army. It has never happened to us. It won't happen this time.
Harry S. Truman
It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job it's a depression when you lose yours.

If that's art, I'm a Hottentot!
Harry S. Truman
I never sit on a fence. I am either on one side or another.
Harry S. Truman
This is a Christian nation.
Harry S. Truman
I believe that we must assist free peoples to work out their own destinies in their own way.
Harry S. Truman
The White House is the finest prison in the world.
Harry S. Truman
The Republicans believe in the minimum wage -- the more the minimum, the better.
Harry S. Truman
If you can't dance then you are a loser.
Harry S. Truman
I had carefully read the Balfour Declaration. I had familiarized myself with the history of the question of a Jewish homeland and the position of the British and the Arabs. I was skeptical, as I read over the whole record up to date, about some of the views and attitudes assumed by the 'striped-pants boys' in the State Department.
Harry S. Truman
