Harry S Truman

I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.

If you cannot convince them, confuse them.

 Harry S Truman, in  Success and Failure

It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.

 Harry S Truman, in  Altruism and Cynicism

Men don't change. The only thing new in the world is the history you don't know.

 Harry S Truman, in  Science and Religion

Men make history, and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.

 Harry S Truman, in  Law and Politics

When you have an efficient government, you have a dictatorship.
