More from Harry Truman
"I wonder how many people have ever thought of a President as a man who has to put up with a lot of slanders and lies."
"It's a great life if you don't weaken."
"There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know."
"I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell."
"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."
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.
