More from Harry Truman
"The American people are the best people in the world, but they can be damn fools sometimes."
"I hope that when I die, I'll go to hell, so I can give the devil a piece of my mind."
"The greatest honor that can be paid to a man is to be called a good American."
"I don't believe in taking a whole lot of time to make up your mind. You ought to make it up and then go ahead and do it."
"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.
