More quotes by Herbert Hoover
Competition is not only the basis of protection to the consumer, but is the incentive to progress.
Herbert Hoover
Being a politician is a poor profession. Being a public servant is a noble one.
Herbert Hoover
Honest difference of views and honest debate are not disunity. They are the vital process of policy among free men.
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
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
National character cannot be built by law. It is the sum of the moral fiber of its individuals.

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
I SEND YOU MY HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS UPON BEGINNING THE THIRTIETH YEAR OF YOUR GREAT CAREER AS MANAGER OF THE NEW YORK GIANTS, IN WHICH YOU HAVE DONE SO MUCH TO UPHOLD THE TRADITIONS OF CLEAN SPORTSMANSHIP IN THE MOST BELOVED NATIONAL GAME.
Herbert Hoover
Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and human dignity.
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
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 spark of liberty in the mind and spirit of man cannot be long extinguished it will break into flames that will destroy every coercion which seems to limit it.
Herbert Hoover
I shall tell my doctors baseball has more curative powers than all their medicine.
Herbert Hoover
Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.
Herbert Hoover
My boyhood ambition was to be able to earn my own living, without the help of anybody, anywhere.
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
The Union has become not merely a physical union of states, but rather a spiritual union in common ideals of our people. Within it is room for every variety of opinion, every possible experiment in social progress. Out of such variety comes growth, but only if we preserve and maintain our spiritual solidarity.
Herbert Hoover
