Quotes (About)

No President, in my lifetime at least, had so burdensome and sorrowful an administration as did Herbert Hoover. Only Lincoln had graver problems to deal with. That Hoover should have failed of reelection was inevitable. The remorseless forces, for which he was not in any way responsible, that wiped out in two years two thirds of the fortunes of the United States, wrecked his political fortunes as well.
