Quote by Harry S Truman
Within the first few months I discovered that being president is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep riding or be swallowed.
Summary
This quote suggests that being a president is an intense and relentless task. The metaphor of riding a tiger implies that once one assumes the role of a president, they must maintain control and momentum, just as a person riding a tiger has to keep riding in order to avoid being overpowered or consumed by it. It implies the difficulty of stepping down or relinquishing power once it is obtained, emphasizing the relentless nature of the role.
