Once a decision was made, I didn't worry about it afterward.

Harry Truman 458 quotes

I believe in the brotherhood ...

I believe in the brotherhood of man, not merely the brotherhood of white men but the brotherhood of all men before law.

Harry Truman 458 quotes

I don't give a damn about "The Missouri Waltz" but I can't say it out loud because it's the song of Missouri. It's as bad as "The Star-Spangled Banner" so far as music is concerned.

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 Truman 458 quotes

I tend to pair up Benjamin Harrison and Dwight Eisenhower because they're the two presidents I can think of who most preferred laziness to labor.... There's not much else you can say about Harrison except that he was president of the United States.

The only thing you have to worry about is bad luck. I never had bad luck.

Harry Truman 458 quotes

Brave men don't belong to any...

Brave men don't belong to any one country. I respect bravery wherever I see it.

The atomic bomb is too dangerous to be loose in a lawless world.

I'm the ultimately responsible person in this organization. Other people can pass the buck to me, but I can't pass the buck to anyone else.

Harry Truman 458 quotes

The attack upon Korea was an ...

The attack upon Korea was an outright breach of the peace and a violation of the Charter of the United Nations. By their actions in Korea, Communist leaders have demonstrated their contempt for the basic moral principles on which the United Nations is founded. This is a direct challenge to the efforts of the free nations to build the kind of world in which men can live in freedom and peace.

Harry Truman 458 quotes

[The American President] has ...

[The American President] has to take all sorts of abuse from liars and demagogues.… The people can never understand why the President does not use his supposedly great power to make ’em behave. Well, all the President is, is a glorified public relations man who spends his time flattering, kissing and kicking people to get them to do what they are supposed to do anyway.

Harry Truman 458 quotes

I enjoyed my new position as ...

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 Truman 458 quotes

We fully realize today that v...

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 Truman 458 quotes

Canada and the United States ...

Canada and the United States have reached the point where we no longer think of each other as 'foreign' countries. We think of each other as friends, as peaceful and cooperative neighbors on a spacious and fruitful continent.

Harry Truman 458 quotes

The United States recognizes ...

The United States recognizes the provisional government as the de facto authority of the new State of Israel.

Harry Truman 458 quotes

It is noble in its administration: to think and let think, beyond the narrow contracted prejudices of bitter sectarians in these modern times. It is general or universal language, fitted to benefit the poor stranger, which no other institution is calculated to reach, by extending the beneficent hand.

Harry Truman 458 quotes

I have to decide Japanese strategy - shall we invade Japan proper or shall we bomb and blockade? That is my hardest decision to date. But I'll make it when I have all the facts.

Too many?pass judgement on wartime decisions in the luxury of a peacetime environment.

You members of this Conference are to be the architects of the better world. In your hands rests our future.

The United States, which would live on Christian principles with all of the peoples of the world, cannot omit a fair deal for its own Indian citizens.
