Herbert Hoover
No prosaic description can portray the grandeur of 40 miles of rugged mountains rising beyond a placid lake in which each shadowy precipice and each purple gorge is reflected with a vividness that rivals the original.
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
Never worry about anything that is past. Charge it up to experience and forget the trouble. There are always plenty of troubles ahead, so don't turn and look back on any behind you.
Herbert Hoover
Any lack of confidence in the economic future or the basic strength of business in the United States is foolish.
Herbert Hoover
Sportsmanship, next to the Church, is the greatest teacher of morals.
Herbert Hoover

Herbert Hoover
Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.
Herbert Hoover
If the law is upheld only by government officials, then all law is at an end.
Herbert Hoover
Wisdom consists not so much in knowing what to do in the ultimate as in knowing what to do next.
Herbert Hoover
