More quotes by Herbert Hoover
The greatness of America has grown out of a political and social system and a method of control of economic forces distinctly its own - our American system.
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
No public man can be just a little crooked. There is no such thing as a no-man's land between honesty and dishonesty.
Herbert Hoover
When I decided to go into politics I weighed the costs. I would get criticism. But I went ahead. So when virulent criticism came I wasn't surprised. I was better able to handle it.
Herbert Hoover

Honor is not the exclusive property of any political party.
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

America - a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose.
Herbert Hoover
Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.
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
The association of Mount Ararat and Noah, the staunch Christians who were massacred periodically by the Mohammedan Turks, and the Sunday School collections over fifty years for alleviating their miseries-all cumulate to impress the name Armenia on the front of the American mind.
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
All progress and growth is a matter of change, but change must be growth within our social and government concepts if it should not destroy them.
Herbert Hoover
Love what is ahead by loving what has come before.
Herbert Hoover
