I'm not a politician by trade. I'm a farmer and a soldier and a politician by necessity.

More from Harry Truman
"The only thing that I have found that is more difficult than being President is being a candidate for President."
"It's a good thing I don't have to run for President again. I'm too old for that nonsense."
"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 believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people."
"I don't believe in the doctrine of original sin. I think people are born good."
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.
