“About the time we can make the ends meet, somebody moves the ends.”   —   Herbert Hoover

(Probably said this while the Great Depression was going on.  The stock market crash of 1929 devastated the country.  Not sure if Herb could’ve done anything to prevent it.  But, he was Secretary of Commerce for the eight years leading up to it, so I guess he’s got to take some of the blame, like Coolidge did.  Be well and do good, friends.)  —   YUR

“Honor is not the exclusive property of any political party.”   —   Herbert Hoover

(No.  There are dirt-bags in both/all parties!  Our 31st President!  And, the guy who takes most of the heat – right or wrong – for the Great Depression.  Tough one to get started, for me.  I wanted the first word to be NEVER, but that wouldn’t work out.  I then tried COLOR, but no good.  Finally HONOR hit me!  Does this difficulty mean I’m not an honorable man???  Be well and do good, friends.)    —   YUR

“Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and human dignity.”   —   Herbert Hoover

(This one took me some time to get started.  And, before I caught myself, I had it as OVEN WINDOW, which made much more sense when I corrected it to OPEN.  It’s a wonderful quote, from the President who probably gets a bit too much blame for the Great Depression.  He was a Quaker, who redistributed his presidential salary to charities.  Not such a bad guy.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt.”   —   Herbert Hoover

(Even factoring in inflation, Hoover’s national debt was nothing compared to what our young people are looking at.  They need more than blessings they need . . . a miracle!   Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
