Hot off the presses is a new book by one of our country’s most acerbic presidents. It’s The Wit and Wisdom of Harry Truman by Ralph Keyes, a collection of quotations by the man from Independence. Some gems to whet your appetite:
Washington: “If you want a friend in Washington, buy a dog.”
Politics: “I wonder how far Moses would have gone if he’d taken a poll in Egypt.”
Economics: “It’s a recession when your neighbor loses his job; it’s a depression when you lose your own.”
