More quotes by Herbert Hoover

Herbert Hoover
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
Prosperity cannot be restored by raids upon the public Treasury.
Herbert Hoover
Hunger is the mother of anarchy.
Herbert Hoover
Baseball is the greatest of all team sports.

The worst evil of disregard for some law is that it destroys respect for all laws.
Herbert Hoover
The priceless treasure of boyhood is his endless enthusiasm, his high store of idealism, his affections and his hopes. When we preserve these, we have made men. We have made citizens and we have made Americans.
Herbert Hoover
Let me remind you that credit is the lifeblood of business, the lifeblood of prices and jobs.
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
The joys of fishing are not confined to the hours near the water.
Herbert Hoover
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
The outlook of the world today is for the greatest era of commercial expansion in history. The rest of the world will become better customers.
Herbert Hoover
I'm the only person of distinction who has ever had a depression named for him.

Gentleman, you have come sixty days too late. The depression is over.
Herbert Hoover
