Harry S. Truman
  • I had faith in Israel before it was established, I have in it now. I believe it has a glorious future before it - not just another sovereign nation, but as an embodiment of the great ideals of our civilization.

  • The atom bomb was no 'great decision.' It was merely another powerful weapon in the arsenal of righteousness.

  • In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves... self-discipline with all of them came first.

  • The Marine Corps is the Navy's police force and as long as I am President that is what it will remain. They have a propaganda machine that is almost equal to Stalin's.

  • Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.
