"Well, I wouldn't say that I was in the great class, but I had a great time while I was trying to be ..." — Harry S Truman

A president either is constantly on top of events or, if he hesitates, events will soon be on top of him. I never felt that I could let up for a moment.

Most of the problems a President has to face have their roots in the past.

The President is always abused. If he isn't, he isn't doing anything.

Any man who has had the job I've had and didn't have a sense of humor wouldn't still be here.
