Top 5 quotes from Harry Truman
"I sit here all day trying to persuade people to do the things they ought to have the sense to do without my persuading them. That's all the powers of the President amount to."
"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 single moment."
"No one who has not had the responsibility can really understand what it is like to be President, not even his closest aides or members of his immediate family. There is no end to the chain of responsibility that binds him, and he is never allowed to forget that he is President."
"There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know."
"I never did give them hell. I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell."

"It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit."
"Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you're a thousand miles from the corn field."
"There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there."
"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before."
