"The President is the representative of all the people, not just the people who voted for him."
"The greatest honor history can bestow is the title of peacemaker."
"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."
"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.
