"It's plain hokum. If you can't convince 'em, confuse 'em. It's an old political trick. But this time..." — 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.
