More quotes by Herbert Hoover
Every generation has the right to build its own world out of the materials of the past, cemented by the hopes of the future.
Herbert Hoover
It [freedom] is a thing of the spirit. Men must be free to worship, to think, to hold opinions, to speak without fear. They must be free to challenge wrong and oppression with the surety of justice.
Herbert Hoover
While I can make no claim for having introduced the term rugged individualism, I should be proud to have invented it. It has been used by American leaders for over a half-century in eulogy of those God-fearing men and women of honesty whose stamina and character and fearless assertion of rights led them to make their own way in life.
Herbert Hoover
We have gold because we cannot trust governments
Herbert Hoover
Liberalism is a force truly of the spirit proceeding from the deep realization that economic freedom cannot be sacrificed if political freedom is to be preserved.
Herbert Hoover
I come of Quaker stock. My ancestors were persecuted for their beliefs. Here they sought and found religious freedom. By blood and conviction I stand for religious tolerance both in act and in spirit.
Herbert Hoover
[N]o country can squander itself to prosperity on the ruin of its taxpayers.
Herbert Hoover
I'm the only person of distinction who has ever had a depression named for him.
Herbert Hoover
The association of Mount Ararat and Noah, the staunch Christians who were massacred periodically by the Mohammedan Turks, and the Sunday School collections over fifty years for alleviating their miseries-all cumulate to impress the name Armenia on the front of the American mind.
Herbert Hoover
Being a politician is a poor profession. Being a public servant is a noble one.
Herbert Hoover
All progress and growth is a matter of change, but change must be growth within our social and government concepts if it should not destroy them.
Herbert Hoover
We supported the cooperative movement among farmers. The movement was still young and stubbornly opposed to the commercial distributors. I believed it to be one of the most helpful undertakings, for according to my social theories any organization run by citizens for their own welfare is preferable to the same action by the government.
Herbert Hoover
The job is nothing but a twenty-ring circus-with a whole lot of bad actors.
Herbert Hoover
The outlook of the world today is for the greatest era of commercial expansion in history. The rest of the world will become better customers.
Herbert Hoover
National character cannot be built by law. It is the sum of the moral fiber of its individuals.
Herbert Hoover
The slogan of progress is changing from the full dinner pail to the full garage.
Herbert Hoover
I believe not only that religious faith will be victorious, but that it is vital to humankind that it shall be. We may differ in form and particulars in our religious faith. Those are matters that are sacred to each of our inner sanctuaries. It is our privilege to decline to argue them. Their real demonstration is the lives that we live.
Herbert Hoover
New discoveries in science and their flow of new inventions will continue to create a thousand new frontiers for those who still would adventure.
Herbert Hoover
Fishing is a... discipline in the equality of men - for all men are equal before fish.
Herbert Hoover
Words without actions are the assassins of idealism.
Herbert Hoover
