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
Image
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

I can at once refute the statement that the people of the West object to conservation of oil resources.

There are no half measures in conservation of oil.

American life is builded ... upon that fundamental philosophy announced by the Savior nineteen centuries ago ... [It] can not survive with the defense of Cain, Am I my brother's keeper?
Herbert Hoover

There is no other book so various as the Bible, nor one so full of concentrated wisdom.
Herbert Hoover
Image
Any lack of confidence in the economic future or the basic strength of business in the United States is foolish.
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
The President is not only the leader of a party, he is the President of the whole people. He must interpret the conscience of America. He must guide his conduct by the idealism of our people.

The Constitution is America's glue, Democracy is the Constitution's glue.
