I don’t give a damn about “The Missouri Waltz” but I can’t say it out loud because it’s the song of Missouri. It’s as bad as “The Star-Spangled Banner” so far as music is concerned.
Work Hard. Do your best. Keep your word. Never get too big for your britches. Trust in God. Have no fear; and Never forget a friend.
The Russians are liars – you can’t trust them. At Potsdam they agreed to everything and broke their word. It’s too bad the second world power is like this, but that’s the way it is, and we must keep our strength.
May we Americans all live up to our glorious heritage.
This attack has made it clear, beyond all doubt, that the international Communist movement is willing to use armed invasion to conquer independent nations. An act of aggression such as this creates a very real danger to the security of all free nations.
We are trying to prevent a third world war.
If you think somebody is telling a big lie about you, the only way to answer is with the whole truth.
If you tell Congress everything about the world situation, they get hysterical. If you tell them nothing, they go fishing.
You should never form judgments from front page headlines. As with a contract, the fine print on the inside pages should be carefully studied.
People are very much wrought up about the Communist bugaboo.
I got very well acquainted with Joe Stalin, and I like old Joe! He is a decent fellow. But Joe is a prisoner of the Politburo.
When contemplating General Eisenhower winning the Presidential election, Truman said, Hell sit here, and hell say, Do this! Do that! And nothing will happen. Poor Ikeit wont be a bit like the Army. Hell find it very frustrating.
Why, this fellow doesn’t know any more about politics than a pig knows about Sunday.
Here we now have the freedom of all religions, and I hope that never again will we have a repetition of religious bigotry, as we have had in certain periods of our own history. There is no room for that kind of foolishness here.
The world has experienced a revival of an old faith in the everlasting moral force of justice. At no time in history has there been a more important Conference, or a more necessary meeting, than this one in San Francisco, which you are opening today.
You members of this Conference are to be the architects of the better world. In your hands rests our future.
All will concede that in order to have good neighbors, we must also be good neighbors. That applies in every field of human endeavor.
If we do not want to die together in war, we must learn to live together in peace.
With firm faith in our hearts, to sustain us along the hard road to victory, we will find our way to a secure peace, for the ultimate benefit of all humanity.
The absence of war is not peace.
To me party platforms are contracts with the people.
