More quotes by Herbert Hoover
The joys of fishing are not confined to the hours near the water.
Herbert Hoover
There are only two occasions when Americans respect privacy, especially in Presidents. Those are prayer and fishing.
Herbert Hoover
It is well to remember that the office of Chief Executive is in part a symbol of the nation and that leaders in a nation may differ in their own house but they have instant solidarity in the presence of foreign attack
Herbert Hoover
The basis of successful relief in national distress is to mobilize and organize the infinite number of agencies of self help in the community. That has been the American way.
Herbert Hoover
The whole inspiration of our civilization springs from the teachings of Christ and the lessons of the prophets. To read the Bible for these fundamentals is a necessity of American life.
Herbert Hoover
Doctors think a lot of patients are cured who have simply quit in disgust.
Herbert Hoover

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
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
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
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
Let me remind you that credit is the lifeblood of business, the lifeblood of prices and jobs.
Herbert Hoover
The outlook of the world today is for the greatest era of commercial expansion in history. The rest of the world will become better customers.
Herbert Hoover
The slogan of progress is changing from the full dinner pail to the full garage.
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.
Herbert Hoover
True American Liberalism utterly denies the whole creed of socialism.
Herbert Hoover
Honor is not the exclusive property of any political party.
Herbert Hoover
There is no other book so various as the Bible, nor one so full of concentrated wisdom.
Herbert Hoover
