Harry Truman: “Every American has a right to do as he pleases in a political campaign.”

It was suggested, and I decided that it wouldn't serve any good purpose, it would be just a piece of demagoguery; and that is what it turned out to be.

The experience of this early period of public action showed that constant vigilance and competent professional guidance are essential to prevent irreparable losses.

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

I have great faith and confidence in our civil servants.
