More quotes by Herbert Hoover
True American Liberalism utterly denies the whole creed of socialism.

Herbert Hoover
The worst evil of disregard for some law is that it destroys respect for all laws.
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
The association of Mount Ararat and Noah, the staunch Christians who were massacred periodically by the Mohammedan Turks, and the Sunday School collections over fifty years for alleviating their miseries-all cumulate to impress the name Armenia on the front of the American mind.
Herbert Hoover
Along with currency manipulation, the New Deal introduced to Americans the spectacle of Fascist dictation to business, labor, and agriculture.
Herbert Hoover
Prosperity cannot be restored by raids upon the public Treasury.
Herbert Hoover
If the law is upheld only by government officials, then all law is at an end.
Herbert Hoover
The rigid volunteer rules of right and wrong in sports are second only to religious faith in moral training.
