President Herbert Hoover

Famous quotes containing the words president, herbert and/or hoover:

“I don’t have any problem with a reporter or a news person who says the President is uninformed on this issue or that issue. I don’t think any of us would challenge that. I do have a problem with the singular focus on this, as if that’s the only standard by which we ought to judge a president. What we learned in the last administration was how little having an encyclopedic grasp of all the facts has to do with governing.”
—David R. Gergen (b. 1942)

“virtue lies therein,
A secret virtue bringing peace and mirth
By flight of sin.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)

“Prosperity cannot be restored by raids upon the public Treasury.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
