Harry S. Truman
The newcomers quickly learned their way about and soon felt at home.

Harry S. Truman
It isn't important who is ahead at one time or another, in either an election or a horse race. It's the horse that comes in first at the finish that counts
Harry S. Truman
Democracy alone can supply the vitalizing force to stir the peoples of the world into triumphant action, not only against their human oppressors, but also against their ancient enemies-hunger, misery, and despair.
Harry S. Truman
Mama and Papa are more to blame (for delinquency) than the kids parents should stay home and raise their children and spend less time in taverns.
Harry S. Truman
People are very much wrought up about the Communist bugaboo.
Harry S. Truman
In most of my campaigns, I find it is best not to mention my opponent by name because, by doing so, it just gives him a chance to get into the headlines.
Harry S. Truman
The Republicans believe in the minimum wage -- the more the minimum, the better.
Harry S. Truman
The Marine Corps is the Navy's police force and as long as I am President that is what it will remain. They have a propaganda machine that is almost equal to Stalin's.
Harry S. Truman
Selfishness and greed, individual or national, cause most of our troubles.
Harry S. Truman
The President hears a hundred voices telling him that he is the greatest man in the world. He must listen carefully indeed to hear the one voice that tells him his is not.
Harry S. Truman
