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

I come of Quaker stock. My ancestors were persecuted for their beliefs. Here they sought and found religious freedom. By blood and conviction I stand for religious tolerance both in act and in spirit.
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
Truth alone can stand the guns of criticism.
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 worst evil of disregard for some law is that it destroys respect for all laws.
Herbert Hoover
Eat plenty, wisely, without waste.
Herbert Hoover
Honor is not the exclusive property of any political party.
Herbert Hoover
