"Always be sincere, even if you don't mean it."
"It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it."
"I have always been a great believer in the common sense of the common man."
"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."
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.
