Harry S Truman

This is something Harry wrote at 16 - (he was an avid reader)

"This world is made up of all sorts of conditions of men, from the best one could wish to the basest one could imagine. There are men who love money who will do anything for money, who will sell their souls for money. Then there are men who love money for the good that is in it, who like to use it to make others happy. There are men who love everything worldly, love wine women and a good time; they there are those who are so religious they have no time to think of anyone or anything. These men are extremists who run the thing into the ground. I like a man who had enough worldly wisdom to take care of himself; but I like him to have time to love both his God and those around him."
