The glory of the nation rests in the character of her men. And character comes from boyhood. Thus, every boy is a challenge to his elders.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

The opportunities of America ...

The opportunities of America opened out to me the public schools. They carried me to the professional training of an American university. I began by working with my own hands for my daily bread.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Engineering training deals wi...

Engineering training deals with the exact sciences. That sort of exactness makes for truth and conscience. It might be good for the world if more men had that sort of mental start in life even if they did not pursue the profession.

The New Deal repudiation of democracy has left the Republican Party alone the guardian of the Ark of the Covenant with its charter of freedom.

When we are sick, we want an uncommon doctor; when we have a construction job to do, we want an uncommon engineer, and when we are at war, we want an uncommon general. It is only when we get into politics that we are satisfied with the common man.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Economic depression cannot be...

Economic depression cannot be cured by legislative action or executive pronouncement. Economic wounds must be healed by the action of the cells of the economic body - the producers and consumers themselves.

While the crash only took place six months ago, I am convinced we have now passed the worst, and with continued unity of effort, we shall rapidly recover.

Economic freedom cannot be sacrificed if political freedom is to be preserved.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Self-government does not and ...

Self-government does not and should not imply the use of political agencies alone. Progress is born of cooperation in the community - not from governmental restraints.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Free government is the most difficult of all government. But it is everlastingly true that the plain people will make fewer mistakes than any other group of men, no matter how powerful.

Let me remind you that credit is the lifeblood of business, the lifeblood of prices and jobs.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

The great liability of the en...

The great liability of the engineer compared to men of other professions is that his works are out in the open where all can see them. His acts, step by step, are in hard substance. He cannot bury his mistakes in the grave like the doctors. He cannot argue them into thin air or blame the judge like the lawyers.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Many years ago, I concluded that a few hair shirts were part of the mental wardrobe of every man. The president differs from other men in that he has a more extensive wardrobe.

When the outcome of a meeting is to have another meeting, it has been a lousy meeting.
