Quote by Harry S. Truman

Study men, not historians.

Study men, not historians.

Summary

This quote suggests that instead of relying solely on the accounts and interpretations given by historians, it is more beneficial to study the individuals themselves and form our own understanding. By directly examining the actions, thoughts, and motivations of people throughout history, we can develop a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of the past. This implies a call for independent critical thinking and investigation, rather than blindly accepting the narratives constructed by historians.
