“In my public statements I have earnestly urged that there rested upon government many responsibilities which affect the moral and spiritual welfare of our people.

Moreover, it is through them that our national ideals are ingrained in our children.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“But nothing in India is identifiable, the mere asking of a question causes it to disappear or to merge in something else.”
