More quotes by Herbert Hoover
Eat plenty, wisely, without waste.
Herbert Hoover
The priceless treasure of boyhood is his endless enthusiasm, his high store of idealism, his affections and his hopes. When we preserve these, we have made men. We have made citizens and we have made Americans.
Herbert Hoover
Above all, we know that although Americans can be led to make great sacrifices, they do not like to be driven.
Herbert Hoover
Many women are now holding posts of grave responsibility in city and country and state and nation, and their number must be greatly increased.
Herbert Hoover
The more one observes, the more clearly does he see that it is in the soil of pure science that are found the origins of all our modern industry and commerce. In fact,our civilization is wholly built upon our scientific discoveries.
Herbert Hoover
Bureaucracy is ever desirous of spreading its influence and its power. You cannot extend the mastery of the government over the daily working life of a people without at the same time making it the master of the people's souls and thoughts.
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
Any lack of confidence in the economic future or the basic strength of business in the United States is foolish.
Herbert Hoover
If the law is upheld only by government officials, then all law is at an end.
Herbert Hoover
All men are equal before fish.
Herbert Hoover

Herbert Hoover
Public health service should be as fully organized and as universally incorporated into our governmental system as is public education. The returns are a thousand fold in economic benefits, and infinitely more in reduction of suffering and promotion of human happiness.
Herbert Hoover
Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.
Herbert Hoover
The basis of successful relief in national distress is to mobilize and organize the infinite number of agencies of self help in the community. That has been the American way.
Herbert Hoover
The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing.
Herbert Hoover
One of the primary necessities of the world for the maintenance of peace is the elimination of the frictions which arise from competitive armament.
Herbert Hoover
I, with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of American life... more particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.
Herbert Hoover
The glory of the nation rests in the character of her men. And character comes from boyhood. Thus every boy is a challenge to his elders.
Herbert Hoover
I outlived the bastards.
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
