10th August: Herbert Hoover

Former US President Herbert Hoover was born on this date in 1874. Here are 10 things he said:

1. About the time we can make the ends meet, somebody moves the ends.
2. Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.
3. All men are equal before fish.
4. Peace is not made at the council table or by treaties, but in the hearts of men.
5. Wisdom oft times consists of knowing what to do next.
6. A good many things go around in the dark besides Santa Claus.
7. New discoveries in science will continue to create a thousand new frontiers for those who still would adventure.
8. Being a politician is a poor profession. Being a public servant is a noble one.
9. Whatever doubt there may be as to the quality or purpose of our free speech we certainly have ample volumes in production.
10. Many women are now holding posts of grave responsibility in city and country and state and nation, and their number must be greatly increased.
