He had more stamina than I will ever have. He came in with Roosevelt in 1932 and served two years under Harry Truman and they had a falling out, and my father, I think, quit about two minutes before Harry Truman fired him.
Harold L. Ickes
People didn't stop to notice the dog that didn't bark. The dog that didn't bark was something we had feared for a half century -- that even if we won World War II, as we did, it would only be a matter of time before Germany was led by another Hitler ... That didn't happen. And it turns out that much of the reason was what Roosevelt and Truman secretly did during the war.
Michael Beschloss
Truman was mentioned as having stellar programs in two of those areas, one of them was the undergraduate research experience that we give the students here, the other was a senior capstone experience.
Barbara Dixon
When Harry Truman threw that bomb, I blessed that guy. We didn't have to go.
Harold Rosenblatt
Jimmy Carter as President is like Truman Capote marrying Dolly Parton. The job is just too big for him.
Rich Little
Harry Truman said, 'The buck stops here.' Well, the buck stops here. You're the last stand before the patient gets the medication.
Neil Mcdermott
We haven't had this kind of an environment since the Truman years.
Philip Braverman
Before In Cold Blood , Truman was a normal, if ambitious, person.
Gerald Clarke
When President Bush invaded Iraq after 911 it was like Truman invading Mexico after Pearl Harbor.
John Kerry
I think he's been doing a great job and is a great addition to Truman State University and the swimming program.
Jerry Wollmering
[Fortunately for Carrey's ego, most people did like his work.] 'Truman Show' was really well-reviewed, so at the end of the year, when all the critics groups start voting, it should do very well, ... Jim Carrey has a shot, even though he's a comedian.
Anne Thompson
A lot of people will have that mentality of: Why Truman?, but I'll tell you what - we have a lot of good things at Truman. The people who go to school here are pretty fortunate. I'm fortunate to be here. We have the best academics in the conference. Our kids are getting jobs. We've just been named the No. 1 school in the conference for graduation rate. That's what you talk about.
Shannon Currier
That was just a real determined Truman team. We warned the kids they were going to make a run. They came in and made adjustments, and we panicked toward the end.
Steve Brooks
When you start interpreting this sort of thing sociologically, it's like taking a butterfly and pinning its wings down. You start beating it apart and you have nothing there. You have a lot of different opinions that don't mean anything. Truman would have been bored and would have yawned at that.
Aileen Mehle
I think that's a strange irony that we're playing Truman State. Aside from Joplin, there isn't anyplace else on the face of the earth that will be more touched and more impacted than Kirksville and the Truman State campus by the loss of John Ware.
Sallie Beard
I used to tell my history students that while he was a Democrat, I admired Harry Truman because he took tough positions and then stood up for them.
Phil Crane
The 'do-nothing' nickname worked for Harry Truman, and Democrats are reviving it again this year. Especially every time there is an election year, Congress is very, very reticent to do a lot of work.
Richard Semiatin
Before Truman, journalism and non-fiction weren't taken very seriously. Journalism was seen as a hack profession that had very little style, very little grace. After In Cold Blood , people saw real-life stories in a different way.
Gerald Clarke
When I look at these prices, it's just mind-boggling that our government has done nothing to help people, ... Harry Truman said the buck stops on his desk, and I think our president has to realize, that's where the problems of our country come to rest.
James Ware
It was immediately apparent that it was full of tricky ingredients to balance. In fact, I found it very intriguing. What held me back from saying yes to the producer was that I wasn't sure who could play Truman.
Peter Weir
I would like to start a folklore club here at Truman and have the symposium be its main event. I want to get more people involved and not just do it all myself.
Meredith Heist
We came off a pretty good win [against Western] because we came off a bad loss against Truman. We just wanted to go in Saturday night and get us a good win. I think we've been playing pretty well.
Michael Hicks
We must uphold the promise of Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, and Clinton and never allow the President and his Republican friends to threaten Social Security by putting it on the Wall Street trading block.
John Kerry
My political heroes are Barry Goldwater and Harry Truman. Goldwater would roll in his grave if he saw this Republican Party that wants to invade your bedroom and mix religion and politics.
Russ Potts
Mr. Gore, I knew Harry Truman, ... I ran against Harry Truman. And Mr. Gore, you are no Harry Truman.
Strom Thurmond
I hope if nothing else, we can get across the idea that the administration has been wonderful about working with us and listening to us. I really think they care about Truman and about this facility in particular.
Mary Shapiro
Truman State University is a powerhouse at the Division-II level. There are going to be some really good races this weekend.
Nathan Mundt
Truman University was also ranked No. 8 in the Midwest among all private and public institutions.
Barbara Dixon
That did happen. He may have made a connection with Perry, but Truman was ultimately a writer. A writer trying to get the story.
Gerald Clarke
The Black and White Ball was a work of performance art. It was a work that was every bit as important to Truman Capote as everything that he wrote.
Deborah Davis
Truman understood from the start what the Bush administration today seems unwilling to concede: that the benefits of international cooperation are well worth the cost.
Stephen Schlesinger
The rankings had us down pretty low, but I think we're all starting to realize after these tournament wins and all these dual wins that we're a better team than everybody realizes we are. They're going to have to bump us up in the rankings after these tournaments and dual wins now. Everyone's going to start realizing Truman State's on the move.
Adam Vogt
Before Truman, journalism and non-fiction weren't taken very seriously.
Gerald Clarke
It's a movie about the author, Truman Capote.
Douglas Mcgrath
Philip insisted it would be wrong for him to break down and be so emotional. But, of course, when we rolled camera, he proceeded to do exactly what he'd argued against. It's what makes his performance feel so real. When he entered a scene, he was no longer thinking like an actor. He was thinking like Truman Capote would think.
Bennett Miller
We looked good early on in the day against Truman, but in the last dual we weren't focused. I was happy with our performance, but we need to just maintain our focus, especially this late in the season.
David Ganey
It was not until the 1989 collapse of Communism that the UN began to fulfill the original plan that Truman had for it.
Stephen Schlesinger
There was general consternation, if one can put it that way, especially amongst those people who knew little of Vice President Truman, about the new President Truman. From what I had heard of President Truman, I wasn't unduly disturbed because I thought that President Roosevelt's health had already failed so seriously, that it was simply a matter of time before there would be such a succession.
David Bruce
Shutting down a program like this really sends a bad message. It makes it look like Truman doesn't care about preschool education and we don't think it's important. And of course, we do.
Mary Shapiro
If they didn't have the grades to get in here out of high school, then no matter what they do in junior college, they're still not going to be accepted into Truman. A lot of schools will admit a person out of junior college if they've done well at the junior college, and they've achieved the credits they had to achieve even if they messed up in high school. That's the difference.
