"The world is full of people who are willing to give you advice, but very few who are willing to help you."
"I don't think I ever really wanted to be President. I think it chose me."
"I've been in politics for thirty years and I've never been able to figure out how to get a good night's sleep."
"My favorite animal is the mule. He has more sense than a horse. He knows when to stop eating — and when to stop working."
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.
