Harry Truman frasi celebri

“In tutto il mondo ogni paese si trova sotto pressione economica. Paesi devastati dalla guerra cercano di ricostruire le loro industrie. Il loro bisogno di effettuare nei prossimi mesi importazioni sarà superiore alla loro capacità di esportare. Perciò essi sentono la necessità di controllare rigidamente le importazioni […]. Se questa tendenza non verrà rovesciata, il governo degli Stati uniti si troverà presto o tardi sotto pressione perché faccia uso anch'esso degli stessi strumenti, nella lotta per assicurarsi mercati di materie prime […]. Ma questo è proprio ciò che noi abbiamo sempre cercato di evitare sin dal la fine della guerra. Non è un metodo americano. Non è la via verso la pace […]. Il nostro popolo è unito. Esso è stato capace di comprendere le sue responsabilità. Esso è pronto ad assumere il proprio ruolo di guida. Esso è risoluto a operare per un ordine internazionale nel quale la pace e l'ordine siano durevoli. Pace e libertà non sono raggiunte in modo facile. Non possono essere ottenute con la forza. Esse vengono dalla mutua comprensione e collaborazione, dal desiderio di condursi lealmente in tutti campi politici economici con tutte le nazioni amiche. Sia nostra volontà continuare in questa via ora e nel futuro. Se altre nazioni del mondo faranno altrettanto, sarà possibile raggiungere l'obiettivo della pace e della libertà nel mondo.”

Harry Truman: Frasi in inglese

“What do you mean "helped create"? I am Cyrus. I am Cyrus.”

Response to being described by his friend Eddie Jacobsen as "the man who helped create the state of Israel." (November 1953); as quoted in "With Eyes Toward Zion" (1977) by Moshe Davis

“It isn't important who is ahead at one time or another in either an election or horse race. It's the horse that comes in first at the finish line that counts.”

As quoted in Bush's Brain : How Karl Rove Made George W. Bush Presidential (2003) by Wayne Slater and James Moore, p. 173

“If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.”

This saying was popularized by Truman after he publicly used it in 1952. It was soon credited to his aide Harry H. Vaughan in TIME (28 April 1952) but apparently originated with a Missouri colleague of Truman, Eugene "Buck" Purcell, according to The Quote Verifier: Who Said What, Where, And When (2006) by Ralph Keyes. Truman himself later made reference to his popularization of the remark in his book Mr. Citizen (1960), p. 229:
: There has been a lot of talk lately about the burdens of the Presidency. Decisions that the President has to make often affect the lives of tens of millions of people around the world, but that does not mean that they should take longer to make. Some men can make decisions and some cannot. Some men fret and delay under criticism. I used to have a saying that applies here, and I note that some people have picked it up, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."
Misattributed

“Always be sincere, even if you don't mean it.”

Attributed without citation in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations (1992) by Angela Partington, disputed in The Quote Verifier : Who Said What, Where, and When (2006) by Ralph Keyes, p. 224, as something Truman is not known to have said, nor was likely to have said.
