I remember when I first came to Washington. For the first six months you wonder how the hell you ever got here. For the next six months you wonder how the hell the rest of them ever got here.
Harry S. Truman
We must have strong minds, ready to accept facts as they are.
Harry S. Truman
There are always a lot of people so afraid of rocking the boat that they stop rowing. We can never get ahead that way.

Carry the battle to them. Don't let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don't ever apologize for anything.

But all of us-at home, at war, wherever we may be-are within the reach of God's love and power. We all can pray. We all should pray. We should ask the fulfillment of God's will.
Harry S. Truman
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
Millions of our citizens do not now have a full measure of opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health. Millions do not now have protection or security against the economic effects of sickness. The time has arrived for action to help them attain that opportunity and that protection.

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
This attack has made it clear, beyond all doubt, that the international Communist movement is willing to use armed invasion to conquer independent nations. An act of aggression such as this creates a very real danger to the security of all free nations.
Harry S. Truman

Harry S. Truman
I had faith in Israel before it was established, I have in it now. I believe it has a glorious future before it - not just another sovereign nation, but as an embodiment of the great ideals of our civilization.
Harry S. Truman

Harry S. Truman
Being President is a little bit like riding a tiger. You have to keep riding, or else you will be swallowed up by it!
Harry S. Truman
Most of the time most people know the right thing to do ...its the doing of it that gives them trouble
Harry S. Truman
I said that an expert was a fella who was afraid to learn anything new because then he wouldn't be an expert anymore.
Harry S. Truman
We fully realize today that victory in war requires a mighty united effort. Certainly, victory in peace calls for, and must receive, an equal effort. Man has learned long ago, that it is impossible to live unto himself. This same basic principle applies today to nations. We were not isolated during the war. We dare not now become isolated in peace.
Harry S. Truman
Upon books the collective education of the race depends they are the sole instruments of registering, perpetuating and transmitting thought.
Harry S. Truman
I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.
Harry S. Truman
Ignorance and its hand-maidens, prejudice, intolerance, suspicion of our fellowman, breed dictators and breed wars.
Harry S. Truman
