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.

Love what is ahead by loving what has come before.
Herbert Hoover
The Union has become not merely a physical union of states, but rather a spiritual union in common ideals of our people. Within it is room for every variety of opinion, every possible experiment in social progress. Out of such variety comes growth, but only if we preserve and maintain our spiritual solidarity.
Herbert Hoover
