Harry Truman: “I have done everything I know to do, to inform the people of the United States just what they are up against, and what…”

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.

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

We have discovered that the Constitution does not prevent us from correcting social injustice, or advancing the general welfare.
