More quotes by Herbert Hoover
One who brandishes a pistol must be prepared to shoot.
Herbert Hoover
It is a paradox that every dictator has climbed to power on the ladder of free speech. Immediately on attaining power each dictator has suppressed all free speech except his own.
Herbert Hoover
My country owes me nothing. It gave me, as it gives every boy and girl, a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action, opportunity for service and honor.
Herbert Hoover
Truly every generation discovers the world all new again and knows it can improve it.
Herbert Hoover
But I would emphasize again that social and economic solutions, as such, will not avail to satisfy the aspirations of the people unless they conform with the traditions of our race, deeply grooved in their sentiments through a century and a half of struggle for ideals of life that are rooted in religion and fed from purely spiritual springs.
Herbert Hoover
We have gold because we cannot trust governments
Herbert Hoover
Peace is not made at the council table or by treaties, but in the hearts of men.

Herbert Hoover
Prosperity cannot be restored by raids upon the public Treasury.
Herbert Hoover
National character cannot be built by law. It is the sum of the moral fiber of its individuals.
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
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
Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.
Herbert Hoover
[N]o country can squander itself to prosperity on the ruin of its taxpayers.
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
When I decided to go into politics I weighed the costs. I would get criticism. But I went ahead. So when virulent criticism came I wasn't surprised. I was better able to handle it.
Herbert Hoover
