Harry S Truman Quotes
There has been a lot of talk lately about the burdens of the Presidency.

Some men can make decisions and some cannot. Some men fret and delay under criticism. I used to have a saying that applies here, and I note that some people have picked it up, If you cant stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
