More quotes by Herbert Hoover
Children add to the wonder of being alive.
Herbert Hoover
Menaced by collectivist trends, we must seek revival of our strength in the spiritual foundations which are the bedrock of our republic. Democracy is the outgrowth of the religious conviction of the sacredness of every human life. On the religious side, its highest embodiment is the Bible on the political side, the Constitution.
Herbert Hoover
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
The American people are doing their job today. They should be given a chance to show whether they wish to preserve the principles of individual and local responsibility and mutual self-help before they embark on what I believe to be a disastrous system. I feel sure they will succeed if given the opportunity.
Herbert Hoover
The greatness of America has grown out of a political and social system and a method of control of economic forces distinctly its own - our American system.
Herbert Hoover
I suppose I could have called in the whole of the Army, but what was the use? All I had to do was call in Main Street itself.
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
There is no other book so various as the Bible, nor one so full of concentrated wisdom.
Herbert Hoover
Along with currency manipulation, the New Deal introduced to Americans the spectacle of Fascist dictation to business, labor, and agriculture.
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
Above all, we know that although Americans can be led to make great sacrifices, they do not like to be driven.
Herbert Hoover
Love what is ahead by loving what has come before.
Herbert Hoover
Please find me a one-armed economist so we will not always hear, On the other hand...
Herbert Hoover
Every collectivist revolution rides in on a Trojan horse of Emergency. It was a tactic of Lenin, Hitler and Mussolini.... The invasion of New Deal Collectivism was introduced by this same Trojan horse.
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
All men are equal before fish.
Herbert Hoover
All progress and growth is a matter of change, but change must be growth within our social and government concepts if it should not destroy them.
Herbert Hoover
Baseball is the greatest of all team sports.
Herbert Hoover
Sportsmanship, next to the Church, is the greatest teacher of morals.
Herbert Hoover
The pause between the errors and trials of the day and the hopes of the night.
