"All my life, whenever it comes time to make a decision, I make it and forget about it." ― Harry S. Truman Topic(s): Time More From Harry S. Truman "Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better." "The Marine Corps is the Navy’s police force and as long as I am President that is what it will remain. They have a propaganda machine that is almost equal to Stalin’s." "Any man who has had the job I’ve had and didn’t have a sense of humor wouldn’t still be here." More In Time "Life is a series of steps. Things are done gradually. Once in a while there is a giant step, but most of the time we are taking small, seemingly insignificant steps on the stairway of life."― Ralph Ransom "Any time I got in emotional turmoil, I felt sick all the time, like at any minute I would die."― Skeet Ulrich "Don’t waste time trying to break a man’s heart; be satisfied if you can just manage to chip it in a brand new place."― Helen Rowland
