[N]o country can squander itself to prosperity on the ruin of its taxpayers.
Herbert Hoover
I believe not only that religious faith will be victorious, but that it is vital to humankind that it shall be. We may differ in form and particulars in our religious faith. Those are matters that are sacred to each of our inner sanctuaries. It is our privilege to decline to argue them. Their real demonstration is the lives that we live.
Herbert Hoover

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
True American Liberalism utterly denies the whole creed of socialism.
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
The worst evil of disregard for some law is that it destroys respect for all laws.
Herbert Hoover
Fishing is a... discipline in the equality of men - for all men are equal before fish.
Herbert Hoover
Any lack of confidence in the economic future or the basic strength of business in the United States is foolish.
