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

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

I have on numerous occasions,...

I have on numerous occasions, as you know, expressed my sympathy in the establishment of a National Home for the Jews in Palestine and, despite the set-backs caused by the disorders there during the last few years, I have been heartened by the progress which has been made and by the remarkable accomplishments of the Jewish settlers in that country.

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.

Economic depression can not be cured by legislative action or executive pronouncement.

It is those moral and spiritual qualities which rise alone in free men, which will fulfill the meaning of the word American. And with them will come centuries of further greatness to our country.

Baseball is the greatest of all team sports.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

The future of nations cannot ...

The future of nations cannot be frozen . . . cannot be foreseen. If we are going to accomplish anything in our time we must approach our problem in the knowledge that there is nothing rigid or immutable in human affairs. History is a story of growth, decay and change. If no provision, no allowance is made for change by peaceful means, it will come anyway - and with violence.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

To go fishing is the chance t...

To go fishing is the chance to wash one's soul with pure air, with the rush of the brook, or with the shimmer of sun on blue water. It brings meekness and inspiration from the decency of nature, charity toward tackle-makers, patience toward fish, a mockery of profits and egos, a quieting of hate, a rejoicing that you do not have to decide a darned thing until next week. And it is discipline in the equality of men - for all men are equal before fish.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

We are now speeding down the road of wasteful spending and debt, and unless we can escape we will be smashed in inflation.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Fishing is more than fish; it...

Fishing is more than fish; it is the vitalizing lure to outdoor life.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

The more one observes, the more clearly does he see that it is in the soil of pure science that are found the origins of all our modern industry and commerce. In fact,our civilization is wholly built upon our scientific discoveries.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

National character cannot be ...

National character cannot be built by law. It is the sum of the moral fiber of its individuals.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Freedom conceives that the mind and spirit of man can be free only if he is free to pattern his own life, to develop his own talents, free to earn, to spend, to save, to acquire property as the security of his old age and his family.

The sole function of Government is to bring about a condition of affairs favorable to the beneficial development of private enterprise.

Absolute freedom of the press to discuss public questions is a foundation stone of American liberty.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

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

The budget should be balanced not by more taxes, but by reduction of follies.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

While I can make no claim for...

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 276 quotes

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

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

You cannot extend the mastery...

You cannot extend the mastery of government over the daily life of a people without somewhere making it master of people's souls and thoughts.... Every step in that direction poisons the very roots of liberalism. It poisons political equality, free speech, free press, and equality of opportunity. It is the road not to more liberty but to less liberty.
