Hoover

Famous quotes containing the word hoover:

    Every expansion of government in business means that government in order to protect itself from the political consequences of its errors and wrongs is driven irresistibly without peace to greater and greater control of the nation’s press and platform. Free speech does not live many hours after free industry and free commerce die.
    —Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt.
    —Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    The American people are doing their job today. They should be given a chance to show whether they wish to preserve the principles of individual and local responsibility and mutual self-help before they embark on what I believe to be a disastrous system. I feel sure they will succeed if given the opportunity.
    —Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
