"The atom bomb was a terrible thing, but it saved a million American lives."
"It is a terrible thing for a man to get a reputation for being a storyteller. When you tell a story, they don't believe you."
"There are only two things that can break a man: women and money. And I've never had much of either."
"I don't think there's any such thing as a 'good' war. They're all bad."
"I have found that the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it."
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.
