Hardly any difference

My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to the tell the truth, there's hardly any difference. - Harry S. Truman
Few politicians have better lines than President Truman. I think he was the last Democrat I really admired. I'd like to say Kennedy, but I am so tried of political dynasties like the Bush's & Clinton's that I now suffer from a retroactive disdain for previous families of political clout. At least I will spare the Adams.

Harry S. Truman

I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell. -Harry S Truman

More on optimism

A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties. -Harry S Truman
