Herbert Hoover
The joys of fishing are not confined to the hours near the water.
Herbert Hoover

Herbert Hoover
Progress will march if we hold an abiding faith in the intelligence, the initiative, the character, the courage, and the divine touch in the individual. We can safeguard these ends if we give to each individual that opportunity for which the spirit of America stands.
Herbert Hoover
The worst evil of disregard for some law is that it destroys respect for all laws.
