Herbert Hoover actually said...

"In these times, when a large number of segments of our population are seeking relief, that was indeed the greatest and most considerate relief ever extended to the President of the United States."

"I am deeply honored by your courteous hospitality."

"In these quiet halls, there is a restfulness and a feeling of security--an inspiration of faith in one's country."

"It is difficult for me to express, with my natural--I hope natural--modesty, that it gives one pleasure to see oneself presented in a better fashion than the normal snap photograph."
