I don't believe in a super race or a super people. I believe in a super individual who is a product of a super race.

"I never enjoyed being President. It was a terrible burden."
"I don't give 'em hell. I just tell the truth and they think it's hell."
"A politician is a man who understands government, and it takes a politician to run a government. A statesman is a politician who's been dead 10 or 15 years."
"It's a hell of a note when the President of the United States can't get a good night's sleep."
"We are going to have to get tough with Russia. They understand only one thing, and that is force."
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.
