Herbert Hoover actually said...

"There is nothing in the program which has been proposed here that has any intention of taking over the responsibilities of the States in any shape or form."

"The proposed legislation has my approval and I recommend its immediate enactment."

"When we look back over history we see the periods of either moral, social, economic, or political stagnation while the truth was en route and some variety of demagoguery occupied the scene."

"But if these blots were other than exceptions, this nation would not have swept to a mightier and mightier destiny every year since the Independence."
