The greatest part of my life was spent in the hog business. I know all about hogs. And I think I know a good deal about politics, too.

More from Harry Truman
"A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties."
"The buck stops here."
"It is a terrible thing to be a President and have to make decisions that affect the lives of millions of people."
"It's a hell of a job, but I'm going to do my best."
"Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in."
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.
