Lots of people committed crimes during the year who would not have done so if they had been fishing. The increase of crime is among those deprived of the regenerations that impregnate the mind and character of the fisherman.

More quotes by Herbert Hoover
If the law is upheld only by government officials, then all law is at an end.
Herbert Hoover
Presidents have only two moments of personal seclusion. One is prayer the other fishing - and they cannot pray all the time!
Herbert Hoover
We need to add to the three R's, namely Reading, 'Riting, and 'Rithmetic, a fourth--- RESPONSIBILITY.
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
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
The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing.
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
I can at once refute the statement that the people of the West object to conservation of oil resources. They know that there is a limit to oil supplies and that the time will come when they and the Nation will need this oil much more than it is needed now. There are no half measures in conservation of oil.
Herbert Hoover
The only trouble with capitalism is capitalists they're too damn greedy.
Herbert Hoover
When there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned.
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
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
National character cannot be built by law. It is the sum of the moral fiber of its individuals.
Herbert Hoover
Along with currency manipulation, the New Deal introduced to Americans the spectacle of Fascist dictation to business, labor, and agriculture.
Herbert Hoover
Truth alone can stand the guns of criticism.
Herbert Hoover
The advancement of knowledge must be translated into increasing health and education for the children.
Herbert Hoover
It [freedom] is a thing of the spirit. Men must be free to worship, to think, to hold opinions, to speak without fear. They must be free to challenge wrong and oppression with the surety of justice.
Herbert Hoover
Gentleman, you have come sixty days too late. The depression is over.
Herbert Hoover
A boy has two jobs. One is just being a boy. The other is growing up to be a man.
