US President, atomic bomb decision
Sayings by Harry Truman
The nigger is out of his place, and will always be out of his place as long as he is an inferior race.
I've no patience with people who are always whining about the Negro problem. We've got a Negro problem because the Negroes are not yet equal to white people in intelligence and civilization. But they will be someday, and then we won't have a problem.
There are about two million of these 'kikes' in New York City and they are all whiners. They are all for Palestine, but they don't want to fight for it. They want us to fight for it.
It is a fact that Jews are peculiar people, and they are always sticking their noses in other people's business.
The Jews, I find, are very, very selfish. They care about themselves and nobody else.
I don't think a woman should be in politics. They are too emotional. They should be home taking care of their children.
I never did like the goddamned British. They're too stiff-necked and arrogant.
The only thing I ever disliked about MacArthur was his goddamned ego.
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
It's a wonder that any of us are alive, considering what we've been through.
I've never been one to give up. I'm a fighter.
I don't give a damn about the Pope. He's just a man.
The greatest prison where most people live is the fear of what other people think.
Republicans are just like a bunch of old women. They can't make up their minds.
I don't like communism because it is a godless ideology.
We are going to have to get tough with Russia. They understand only one thing, and that is force.
Give 'em hell, Harry!
I don't believe in the doctrine of original sin. I think people are born good.
I don't want any more of these goddamned conferences. They never accomplish anything.
I am not afraid of the Republicans. I am not afraid of anyone.
