More from Harry Truman
"I've had more fun in a county courthouse than I have in the White House."
"I have never been accused of being a brilliant man, but I have been accused of being a man who tries to do his duty."
"I didn't fire him because he was a dumb son of a bitch, although he was, but that's not against the law for generals. If it was, half to three-quarters of them would be in jail."
"I've often wondered if the best way to get a job done is to find a lazy man and assign him to it. He'll find the easiest way."
"I have found that the greatest problem in the world is to get people to understand each other."
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.
