More from Harry Truman
"The greatest part of our population has never had a square deal economically, socially, and politically. The American way of life has not been a way of life for all Americans."
"I hope that when I die, I'll go to hell, so I can give the devil a piece of my mind."
"Being a President is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep on riding or be swallowed."
"I don't believe in taking a whole lot of time to make up your mind. You ought to make it up and then go ahead and do it."
"I've had more fun in a county courthouse than I have in the White House."
About Harry Truman (1884-1972)
33rd US President who ended WWII (atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki), founded NATO and the Marshall Plan, and integrated the US military. Closely associated with Franklin D. Roosevelt (his predecessor) and Dwight D. Eisenhower (his successor). For an intellectual contrast, see Henry A. Wallace, FDR's progressive Vice President (1941-1945) — Wallace was the VP Truman replaced on the 1944 ticket; Wallace's 1948 Progressive Party campaign attacked Truman from the left for starting the Cold War — the moral road not taken at the dawn of the atomic age.
