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
Image
True American Liberalism utterly denies the whole creed of socialism.
Herbert Hoover
Image
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
Image
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
Image
There are only two occasions when Americans respect privacy, especially in Presidents. Those are prayer and fishing.
Herbert Hoover
Image
Progress will march if we hold an abiding faith in the intelligence, the initiative, the character, the courage, and the divine touch in the individual. We can safeguard these ends if we give to each individual that opportunity for which the spirit of America stands.
Herbert Hoover
Image
The people have a vital interest in the conservation of their natural resources in the prevention of wasteful practices.
Herbert Hoover
Image
There are only three ways to meet the unpaid bills of a nation. The first is taxation. The second is repudiation. The third is inflation.
