More quotes by Herbert Hoover
The greatness of America has grown out of a political and social system and a method of control of economic forces distinctly its own - our American system.
Herbert Hoover

Herbert Hoover

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

Herbert Hoover
If we could have but one generation of properly born, trained, educated, and healthy children, a thousand other problems of government would vanish.
Herbert Hoover

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
The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing.
