More quotes by 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
Any practice of business which would dominate the country by its own selfish interest is a destruction of equality of opportunity. Government in business, except in emergency, is also a destruction of equal opportunity and the incarnation of tyranny through bureaucracy.
Herbert Hoover
Governments know that the life of the world cannot be saved if the soul of the world is allowed to be lost.
Herbert Hoover
All men are equal before fish.
Herbert Hoover
The Constitution is America's glue, Democracy is the Constitution's glue.
Herbert Hoover
[N]o country can squander itself to prosperity on the ruin of its taxpayers.
Herbert Hoover
I shall tell my doctors baseball has more curative powers than all their medicine.
Herbert Hoover
Even if security from the cradle to the grave could eliminate [all] the risks of life, it would [still] be a dead hand on the creative spirit of the American people.
Herbert Hoover
Next to religion, baseball has had a greater impact on our American way of life than any other American institution.
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
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
Never worry about anything that is past. Charge it up to experience and forget the trouble. There are always plenty of troubles ahead, so don't turn and look back on any behind you.
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
We must not be misled by the claim that the source of all wisdom is in the government.
Herbert Hoover
The fundamental business of the country, that is production and distribution of commodities, is on a sound and prosperous basis.
Herbert Hoover
My boyhood ambition was to be able to earn my own living, without the help of anybody, anywhere.
Herbert Hoover
While I can make no claim for having introduced the term rugged individualism, I should be proud to have invented it. It has been used by American leaders for over a half-century in eulogy of those God-fearing men and women of honesty whose stamina and character and fearless assertion of rights led them to make their own way in life.
Herbert Hoover
. And it is youth who must inherit the tribulation, the sorrow and the triumphs that are the aftermath of war.
Herbert Hoover
Any lack of confidence in the economic future or the basic strength of business in the United States is foolish.
Herbert Hoover
New discoveries in science and their flow of new inventions will continue to create a thousand new frontiers for those who still would adventure.
Herbert Hoover
