Harry Truman: “The United States of America has achieved world leadership.”

The course of action you recommend has my approval.

The longer I live, the more I am impressed by the significance of our simple official oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.

I do not. General MacArthur is in the Army, and on active duty, and if he has anything that is of use to the Defense Department, he ought to tell them so they can make use of it.

We venerate these documents not because they are old, not because they are valuable historical relics, but because they still have meaning for us.
