The only trouble with capitalism is capitalists they're too damn greedy.

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.

National character cannot be built by law. It is the sum of the moral fiber of its individuals.
Herbert Hoover

Any lack of confidence in the economic future or the basic strength of business in the United States is foolish.
Herbert Hoover
Image
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.

I have on numerous occasions, as you know, expressed my sympathy in the establishment of a National Home for the Jews in Palestine and, despite the set-backs caused by the disorders there during the last few years, I have been heartened by the progress which has been made and by the remarkable accomplishments of the Jewish settlers in that country.

Above all, we know that although Americans can be led to make great sacrifices, they do not like to be driven.
Herbert Hoover
Image
We are now speeding down the road of wasteful spending and debt, and unless we can escape we will be smashed in inflation.
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.
