More from Harry Truman
"I don't want any of you to be afraid to tell me what you think, even if it is not what I want to hear. If you don't tell me, I won't know."
"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 had more fun in a county courthouse than I have in the White House."
"My father was a farmer. My mother was a farmer's wife. And I'm a farmer's son. And I'm proud of it."
"I don't give a damn about the Republicans or the Democrats. I'm interested in the United States of America."
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.
