More quotes by Herbert Hoover
The basis of successful relief in national distress is to mobilize and organize the infinite number of agencies of self help in the community. That has been the American way.
Herbert Hoover
There are only two occasions when Americans respect privacy, especially in Presidents. Those are prayer and fishing.
Herbert Hoover
Menaced by collectivist trends, we must seek revival of our strength in the spiritual foundations which are the bedrock of our republic. Democracy is the outgrowth of the religious conviction of the sacredness of every human life. On the religious side, its highest embodiment is the Bible on the political side, the Constitution.
Herbert Hoover
Many women are now holding posts of grave responsibility in city and country and state and nation, and their number must be greatly increased.
Herbert Hoover
The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing.
Herbert Hoover
The only problem with capitalism is the capitalists.
Herbert Hoover
While I can make no claim for having introduced the term rugged individualism, I should be proud to have invented it. It has been used by American leaders for over a half-century in eulogy of those God-fearing men and women of honesty whose stamina and character and fearless assertion of rights led them to make their own way in life.
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
My country owes me nothing. It gave me, as it gives every boy and girl, a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action, opportunity for service and honor.
Herbert Hoover
A good many things go around in the dark besides Santa Claus.
Herbert Hoover
Once upon a time my political opponents honored me as possessing the fabulous intellectual and economic power by which I created a worldwide depression all by myself.
Herbert Hoover
The President is not only the leader of a party, he is the President of the whole people. He must interpret the conscience of America. He must guide his conduct by the idealism of our people.
Herbert Hoover
I shall tell my doctors baseball has more curative powers than all their medicine.
Herbert Hoover
If the law is upheld only by government officials, then all law is at an end.
Herbert Hoover
We must not be misled by the claim that the source of all wisdom is in the government.
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
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
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 whole inspiration of our civilization springs from the teachings of Christ and the lessons of the prophets. To read the Bible for these fundamentals is a necessity of American life.
Herbert Hoover
Baseball is the greatest of all team sports.
