Herbert Hoover
American business needs a lifting purpose greater than the struggle of materialism.
Herbert Hoover
The glory of the nation rests in the character of her men. And character comes from boyhood. Thus every boy is a challenge to his elders.
Herbert Hoover
Every collectivist revolution rides in on a Trojan horse of Emergency. It was a tactic of Lenin, Hitler and Mussolini.... The invasion of New Deal Collectivism was introduced by this same Trojan horse.
Herbert Hoover
