More quotes by Herbert Hoover
I suppose I could have called in the whole of the Army, but what was the use? All I had to do was call in Main Street itself.
Herbert Hoover
Menaced by collectivist trends, we must seek revival of our strength in the spiritual foundations which are the bedrock of our republic. Democracy is the outgrowth of the religious conviction of the sacredness of every human life. On the religious side, its highest embodiment is the Bible on the political side, the Constitution.
Herbert Hoover
I outlived the bastards.
Herbert Hoover

We have gold because we cannot trust governments
Herbert Hoover
The Constitution is America's glue, Democracy is the Constitution's glue.
Herbert Hoover
The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing.
Herbert Hoover
Economic depression cannot be cured by legislative action or executive pronouncement. Economic wounds must be healed by the action of the cells of the economic body - the producers and consumers themselves.
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
Baseball is the greatest of all team sports.
Herbert Hoover
Truly every generation discovers the world all new again and knows it can improve it.
Herbert Hoover
America - a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose.
Herbert Hoover
American business needs a lifting purpose greater than the struggle of materialism.
Herbert Hoover
I'm the only person of distinction who has ever had a depression named for him.
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
