Harry Truman actually said...

"The people of the United States have learned that peace will not come in response to soft words and vague wishes."

"Free men in every land are asking: 'Where is this leading? .... When will it end?'"

"We will have to take risks during the coming year--risks perhaps greater than any this country has been called upon to assume."

"To carry out that responsibility we must maintain our strength--military, economic, and moral."
