Herbert Hoover
Image

The spark of liberty in the mind and spirit of man cannot be long extinguished it will break into flames that will destroy every coercion which seems to limit it.
Herbert Hoover
Image
Our strength lies in spiritual concepts. It lies in public sensitivities to evil. Our greatest danger is not from invading armies. Our dangers are that we may commit suicide from within by complaisance with evil, or by public tolerance of scandalous behavior.
Herbert Hoover
Image
The advancement of knowledge must be translated into increasing health and education for the children.

Lots of people committed crimes during the year who would not have done so if they had been fishing. The increase of crime is among those deprived of the regenerations that impregnate the mind and character of the fisherman.
