It [freedom] is a thing of the spirit. Men must be free to worship, to think, to hold opinions, to speak without fear. They must be free to challenge wrong and oppression with the surety of justice.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

American life is builded ... upon that fundamental philosophy announced by the Savior nineteen centuries ago ... [It] can not survive with the defense of Cain, 'Am I my brother's keeper?

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Any practice of business which...

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 276 quotes

I suppose I could have called in the whole of the Army, but what was the use? All I had to do was call in Main Street itself.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

I, with other Americans, have ...

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 276 quotes

Liberalism should be found not...

Liberalism should be found not striving to spread bureaucracy but striving to set bounds to it. True liberalism seeks all legitimate freedom first in the confident belief that without such freedom the pursuit of all other blessings and benefits is vain. That belief is the foundation of all American progress, political as well as economic.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Never worry about anything tha...

Never worry about anything that is past. Charge it up to experience and forget the trouble. There are always plenty of troubles ahead, so don't turn and look back on any behind you.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Once the day's work starts the...

Once the day's work starts there is little chance to walk, to ride or to take part in a game. Taking walks or rides early in the morning is a lonesome business, and the inevitable Secret Service guard when the president leaves the White House grounds is not enlivening company.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Our individualism is rooted in...

Our individualism is rooted in our very nature. It is based on conviction born of experience. Equal opportunity, the demand for a fair chance, became the formula of American Individualism because it is the method of American achievement.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Progress will march if we hold...

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 276 quotes

The most essential factor to economic recovery today [1932] is the restoration of confidence.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

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

Eat plenty, wisely, without waste.

Engineering without imagination sinks to a trade.

The job is nothing but a twenty-ring circus-with a whole lot of bad actors.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

So far as the personal side is...

So far as the personal side is concerned, the victory was to him who lost and the defeat to him who won. I can say that never in the last fifteen years have I had the peace of mind that I
have since the election. I have almost a feeling of elation.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Bureaucracy is ever desirous o...

Bureaucracy is ever desirous of spreading its influence and its power. You cannot extend the mastery of the government over the daily working life of a people without at the same time
making it the master of the people's souls and thoughts.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

The structure of human betterment cannot be built upon foundations of materialism or business, but upon the bedrock of individual character in free men and women.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Please find me a one-armed economist so we will not always hear, 'On the other hand...'

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

I believe not only that religi...

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.
