More quotes by Herbert Hoover
The job is nothing but a twenty-ring circus-with a whole lot of bad actors.
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
I shall tell my doctors baseball has more curative powers than all their medicine.
Herbert Hoover
It is just as important that business keep out of government as that government keep out of business.
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
Gentleman, you have come sixty days too late. The depression is over.
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
No prosaic description can portray the grandeur of 40 miles of rugged mountains rising beyond a placid lake in which each shadowy precipice and each purple gorge is reflected with a vividness that rivals the original.
Herbert Hoover
I believe not only that religious faith will be victorious, but that it is vital to humankind that it shall be. We may differ in form and particulars in our religious faith. Those are matters that are sacred to each of our inner sanctuaries. It is our privilege to decline to argue them. Their real demonstration is the lives that we live.
Herbert Hoover
If the law is upheld only by government officials, then all law is at an end.
Herbert Hoover
Love what is ahead by loving what has come before.
Herbert Hoover
The more one observes, the more clearly does he see that it is in the soil of pure science that are found the origins of all our modern industry and commerce. In fact,our civilization is wholly built upon our scientific discoveries.
Herbert Hoover
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
Liberalism is a force truly of the spirit proceeding from the deep realization that economic freedom cannot be sacrificed if political freedom is to be preserved.
Herbert Hoover
When there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned.
Herbert Hoover
My country owes me nothing. It gave me, as it gives every boy and girl, a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action, opportunity for service and honor.
Herbert Hoover
Wisdom consists not so much in knowing what to do in the ultimate as in knowing what to do next.
Herbert Hoover
There is no other book so various as the Bible, nor one so full of concentrated wisdom.
Herbert Hoover
True American Liberalism utterly denies the whole creed of socialism.
Herbert Hoover
The basis of successful relief in national distress is to mobilize and organize the infinite number of agencies of self help in the community. That has been the American way.
Herbert Hoover
