Herbert Hoover
Being a politician is a poor profession. Being a public servant is a noble one.
Herbert Hoover
It is always possible that occasional individuals may have overstepped the law and humanity in treatment of criminals and those charged with crime, and if so, they should be severely punished.

Herbert Hoover
I believe not only that religious faith will be victorious, but that it is vital to humankind that it shall be. We may differ in form and particulars in our religious faith.

Herbert Hoover
Bless the children, for the national debt is theirs.
Herbert Hoover
Honest difference of views and honest debate are not disunity. They are the vital process of policy among free men.
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
Liberalism is a force truly of the spirit proceeding from the deep realization that economic freedom cannot be sacrificed if political freedom is to be preserved.
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
Prosperity cannot be restored by raids upon the public Treasury.
Herbert Hoover
The slogan of progress is changing from the full dinner pail to the full garage.
Herbert Hoover
Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.
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
When there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned.
Herbert Hoover
