Herbert Hoover
But I would emphasize again that social and economic solutions, as such, will not avail to satisfy the aspirations of the people unless they conform with the traditions of our race, deeply grooved in their sentiments through a century and a half of struggle for ideals of life that are rooted in religion and fed from purely spiritual springs.
Herbert Hoover

Herbert Hoover
Lewis Strauss is one of my best friends.
Herbert Hoover
Three qualities of greatness stood out in Woodrow Wilson. He was a man of staunch morals. He was more than just an idealist he was the personification of the heritage of idealism of the American people. He brought spiritual concepts to the peace table. He was a born crusader.
Herbert Hoover
While the crash only took place six months ago, I am convinced we have passed the worst and with continued unity of effort we shall rapidly recover.
Herbert Hoover
We supported the cooperative movement among farmers. The movement was still young and stubbornly opposed to the commercial distributors.

Herbert Hoover
Baseball is the greatest of all team sports.
Herbert Hoover
I come of Quaker stock. My ancestors were persecuted for their beliefs. Here they sought and found religious freedom. By blood and conviction I stand for religious tolerance both in act and in spirit.
