More quotes by Herbert Hoover
Any lack of confidence in the economic future or the basic strength of business in the United States is foolish.
Herbert Hoover
Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and human dignity.
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
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
Presidents have only two moments of personal seclusion. One is prayer the other fishing - and they cannot pray all the time!
Herbert Hoover
If we could have but one generation of properly born, trained, educated, and healthy children, a thousand other problems of government would vanish.

I can at once refute the statement that the people of the West object to conservation of oil resources. They know that there is a limit to oil supplies and that the time will come when they and the Nation will need this oil much more than it is needed now. There are no half measures in conservation of oil.
Herbert Hoover
The whole inspiration of our civilization springs from the teachings of Christ and the lessons of the prophets. To read the Bible for these fundamentals is a necessity of American life.
Herbert Hoover

Herbert Hoover
Love what is ahead by loving what has come before.
Herbert Hoover
In the larger view the major forces of the depression now lie outside of the United States, and our recuperation has been retarded by the unwarranted degree of fear and apprehension created by these outside forces.
Herbert Hoover
A good many things go around in the dark besides Santa Claus.
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
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
Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.
Herbert Hoover
The slogan of progress is changing from the full dinner pail to the full garage.
Herbert Hoover
Blessed are the young for they shall inherit the national debt.
Herbert Hoover
Let me remind you that credit is the lifeblood of business, the lifeblood of prices and jobs.
Herbert Hoover
Any practice of business which would dominate the country by its own selfish interest is a destruction of equality of opportunity. Government in business, except in emergency, is also a destruction of equal opportunity and the incarnation of tyranny through bureaucracy.
Herbert Hoover
The only trouble with capitalism is capitalists they're too damn greedy.
