More quotes by Herbert Hoover
True American Liberalism utterly denies the whole creed of socialism.
Herbert Hoover
We supported the cooperative movement among farmers. The movement was still young and stubbornly opposed to the commercial distributors. I believed it to be one of the most helpful undertakings, for according to my social theories any organization run by citizens for their own welfare is preferable to the same action by the government.
Herbert Hoover
Never worry about anything that is past. Charge it up to experience and forget the trouble. There are always plenty of troubles ahead, so don't turn and look back on any behind you.
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
The people have a vital interest in the conservation of their natural resources in the prevention of wasteful practices.

The course of unbalanced budgets is the road to ruin
Herbert Hoover
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.
Herbert Hoover
America - a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose.
Herbert Hoover
The American people are doing their job today. They should be given a chance to show whether they wish to preserve the principles of individual and local responsibility and mutual self-help before they embark on what I believe to be a disastrous system. I feel sure they will succeed if given the opportunity.
Herbert Hoover
Any practice of business which would dominate the country by its own selfish interest is a destruction of equality of opportunity. Government in business, except in emergency, is also a destruction of equal opportunity and the incarnation of tyranny through bureaucracy.
Herbert Hoover
Children add to the wonder of being alive.
Herbert Hoover
Progress will march if we hold an abiding faith in the intelligence, the initiative, the character, the courage, and the divine touch in the individual. We can safeguard these ends if we give to each individual that opportunity for which the spirit of America stands.
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
Prosperity cannot be restored by raids upon the public Treasury.
Herbert Hoover
Even if security from the cradle to the grave could eliminate [all] the risks of life, it would [still] be a dead hand on the creative spirit of the American people.
Herbert Hoover
The President is not only the leader of a party, he is the President of the whole people. He must interpret the conscience of America. He must guide his conduct by the idealism of our people.
Herbert Hoover
New discoveries in science and their flow of new inventions will continue to create a thousand new frontiers for those who still would adventure.
Herbert Hoover
The joys of fishing are not confined to the hours near the water.
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
Once upon a time my political opponents honored me as possessing the fabulous intellectual and economic power by which I created a worldwide depression all by myself.
