Preserve

Famous quotes containing the word preserve:

    I believe that every man who has ever been earnest to preserve his higher or poetic faculties in the best condition has been particularly inclined to abstain from animal food, and from much food of any kind.

    Those who guard their mouths preserve their lives; those who open wide their lips come to ruin.
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 13:3.

    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)
