More from Harry Truman
"The greatest danger to American institutions is the man who thinks he knows it all."
"The greatest danger to our democracy is not from without, but from within."
"I had flat eyeballs as a boy, and couldn't see well enough to play ball with the other kids. So they made me the umpire."
"The atom bomb was no 'great decision.' It was merely another powerful weapon in the arsenal of righteousness."
"I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people."
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.
