“The first rule of education for me was discipline. Discipline is the keynote to learning. Discipline has been the great factor in my life. I discipline myself to do everythinggetting up in the morning, walking, dancing, exercise. If you wont have discipline, you wont have a nation. We cant have permissiveness. When someone comes in and says, Oh, your room is so quiet, I know Ive been successful.”

“I would wish that the women of our country could embrace ... [the responsibilities] of citizenship as peculiarly their own.

The whole plane of political life would be lifted.”
—Herbert Hoover (18741964)
