More from Harry Truman
"I've been in politics for thirty years and I've never been able to figure out how to get a good night's sleep."
"My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference."
"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."
"I never saw a man who was hurt by doing a good turn."
"It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit."
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.
