More quotes by Herbert Hoover
Honest difference of views and honest debate are not disunity. They are the vital process of policy among free men.
Herbert Hoover
My boyhood ambition was to be able to earn my own living, without the help of anybody, anywhere.
Herbert Hoover
No prosaic description can portray the grandeur of 40 miles of rugged mountains rising beyond a placid lake in which each shadowy precipice and each purple gorge is reflected with a vividness that rivals the original.
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.
Herbert Hoover
Bless the children, for the national debt is theirs.
Herbert Hoover
America - a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose.
Herbert Hoover
In the larger view the major forces of the depression now lie outside of the United States, and our recuperation has been retarded by the unwarranted degree of fear and apprehension created by these outside forces.
Herbert Hoover
Blessed are the young for they shall inherit the national debt.
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
The job is nothing but a twenty-ring circus-with a whole lot of bad actors.
Herbert Hoover
Economic depression cannot be cured by legislative action or executive pronouncement. Economic wounds must be healed by the action of the cells of the economic body - the producers and consumers themselves.
Herbert Hoover
[N]o country can squander itself to prosperity on the ruin of its taxpayers.
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
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
I, with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of American life... more particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.
Herbert Hoover
I shall tell my doctors baseball has more curative powers than all their medicine.
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
Next to religion, baseball has had a greater impact on our American way of life than any other American institution.
Herbert Hoover
It is just as important that business keep out of government as that government keep out of business.
Herbert Hoover
I'm the only person of distinction who has ever had a depression named for him.
Herbert Hoover
