We are indebted to the Book of books (Bible) for our national ideals and institution. Their preservation rests in adhering to it's precepts.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Fishing is a constant reminde...

Fishing is a constant reminder of the democracy of life, of humility, and of human frailty. The forces of nature discriminate for no man.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Prosperity is no idle express...

Prosperity is no idle expression. It is a job for every worker; it is the safety and safeguard of very business and every home. A continuation of the policies of the Republican party is fundamentally necessary to the future advancement of this progress and to the further building up of this prosperity.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Progress will march if we hol...

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 structure of human better...

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

Presidents have only two moments of personal seclusion. One is prayer; the other fishing - and they cannot pray all the time!

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

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

Above all, we know that altho...

Above all, we know that although Americans can be led to make great sacrifices, they do not like to be driven.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Our social and economic system cannot march toward better days unless it is inspired by things of the Spirit. It is here that the higher purposes of individualism must find their sustenance.

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

Let us not forget that the value of this great system does not lie primarily in its extent or even in its efficiency. Its worth depends on the use that is made of it... For the first time in human history we have available to us the ability to communicate simultaneously with millions of our fellowmen, to furnish entertainment, instruction, widening vision of national problems and national events. An obligation rests on us to see that it is devoted to real service and to develop the material that is transmitted into that which is really worthwhile.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

An ideal is an unselfish aspiration. Its purpose is the general welfare not only of this but of future generations. It is a thing of the spirit. It is a generous and humane desire that all men may share equally in a common good. Our ideals are the cement, which binds human society.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

I am sure I'd have made a better all-around man if I hadn't lost so much time just making a living.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Doctors think a lot of patients are cured who have simply quit in disgust.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

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.

The course of unbalanced budgets is the road to ruin

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

Whatever doubt there may be as to the quality or purpose of our free speech we certainly have ample volumes in production.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

In the larger view the major forces of the depression now lie outside of the United States, and our recuperation has been retarded by the unwarranted degree of fear and apprehension created by these outside forces.

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

I returned to the white House...

I returned to the white House after midnight more depressed than ever before. I had long since arranged to attend the World Series in Philadelphia the next day. Although I like baseball, I kept this engagement only because I felt that my presence at a sporting event might be a gesture of reassurance to a country suffering from a severe attack of 'jitters.'

Herbert Hoover 276 quotes

The outlook of the world today is for the greatest era of commercial expansion in history. The rest of the world will become better customers.
