More from Harry Truman
"I am not an expert in anything. I just try to do my job the best I can."
"The greatest danger to American institutions is the man who thinks he knows it all."
"I had flat eyeballs as a boy, and couldn't see well enough to play ball with the other kids. So they made me the umpire."
"I pray God that I may be able to be worthy of the confidence that has been placed in me."
"I've often wondered if the best way to get a job done is to find a lazy man and assign him to it. He'll find the easiest way."
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.
