Without a strong educational system — free of government control — democracy is crippled. Knowledge is not only the key to power. It is the citadel of human freedom.

Harry Truman 458 quotes

The Republicans believe in the minimum wage -- the more the minimum, the better.

It's not the hand that signs the laws that holds the destiny of America. It's the hand that casts the ballot.

Harry Truman 458 quotes

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 Truman 458 quotes

We should resolve now that the health of this nation is a national concern; that financial barriers in the way of attaining health shall be removed; that the health of all it's citizens deserves the help of all the nation.

The difficulty with businessmen entering politics, after they've had a successful business career, is that they want to start at the top.

Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices.

Harry Truman 458 quotes

Divine Providence has played ...

Divine Providence has played a great part in our history. I have the feeling that God has created us and brought us to our present position of power and strength for some great purpose. It is not given to us to know fully what that purpose is, but I think we may be sure of one thing, and that is that our country is intended to do all it can, in cooperating with other nations to help created peace and preserve peace in the world. It is given to defend the spiritual values-the moral code-against the vast forces of evil that seek to destroy them.

Harry Truman 458 quotes

Ignorance and its hand-maidens, prejudice, intolerance, suspicion of our fellowman, breed dictators and breed wars.

Harry Truman 458 quotes

Here we now have the freedom of all religions, and I hope that never again will we have a repetition of religious bigotry, as we have had in certain periods of our own history. There is no room for that kind of foolishness here.

Today, America has become one of the most powerful forces for good on earth. We must keep it so.

Harry Truman 458 quotes

A politician is a man who understands government, and it takes a politician to run a government. A statesman is a politician who's been dead 10 or 15 years.

Harry Truman 458 quotes

The human race has reached a turning point. Man has opened the secrets of nature and mastered new powers. If he uses them wisely, he can reach new heights of civilization. If he uses them foolishly, they may destroy him. Man must create the moral and legal framework for the world which will insure that his new powers are used for good and not for evil.

Harry Truman 458 quotes

The United States should not under any circumstances throw away our gun until we are sure the rest of the world cannot arm against us.

Not every reader is a leader, but every leader must be a reader.

A society will be judged by how it treats its weakest members

Harry Truman 458 quotes

Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.

Harry Truman 458 quotes

Everybody has the right to express what he thinks. That, of course, lets the crackpots in. But if you cannot tell a crackpot when you see one, then you ought to be taken in.

Harry Truman 458 quotes

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 Truman 458 quotes

Dictatorship, by whatever nam...

Dictatorship, by whatever name, is founded on the doctrine that the individual amounts to nothing; that the State is the only one that counts; and that men and women and children were put on earth solely for the purpose of serving the state.
