Did You Know?
Harry Truman was an optimist, a quality that later served him well as president. He wrote to Bess in 1912, “Nothing is so bad it couldn’t be worse.” About one financial plan, he wrote to her, “If I lose though I guess I’ll take a whack at something else. I can’t possibly lose forever.”
