More from Harry Truman
"I have often wondered if I did the right thing. But I am sure I did. There was no other choice."
"I have often thought that the best way to get a man to do something is to tell him that he can't do it."
"It's a great life if you don't weaken."
"My favorite animal is the mule. He has more sense than a horse. He knows when to stop eating — and when to stop working."
"I've been cussed and discussed, boy, but I've never been licked."
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.
