More quotes by 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.

The rigid volunteer rules of right and wrong in sports are second only to religious faith in moral training.
Herbert Hoover
The Union has become not merely a physical union of states, but rather a spiritual union in common ideals of our people. Within it is room for every variety of opinion, every possible experiment in social progress. Out of such variety comes growth, but only if we preserve and maintain our spiritual solidarity.
Herbert Hoover
It is a paradox that every dictator has climbed to power on the ladder of free speech. Immediately on attaining power each dictator has suppressed all free speech except his own.
Herbert Hoover
We must not be misled by the claim that the source of all wisdom is in the government.
Herbert Hoover
Every collectivist revolution rides in on a Trojan horse of Emergency. It was a tactic of Lenin, Hitler and Mussolini.... The invasion of New Deal Collectivism was introduced by this same Trojan horse.
Herbert Hoover
Above all, we know that although Americans can be led to make great sacrifices, they do not like to be driven.
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
Fishing is more than fish it is the vitalizing lure to outdoor life.
