"When there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned." ― Herbert Hoover Topic(s): Government More From Herbert Hoover "No greater nor more affectionate honor can be conferred on an American than to have a public school named after him." "Honor is not the exclusive property of any political party." "I’m the only person of distinction who has ever had a depression named for him." More In Government "The public is upset. If they haven’t lost their job, they know somebody that has. If they haven’t lost their house, they know somebody that has. What do you do? When something’s wrong, it’s government’s job to fix it, it must be government that’s responsible for causing it."― Michael Bloomberg "If Liberia has failed, then, it is no evidence of the failure of the Negro in government. It is merely evidence of the failure of slavery."― Carter G. Woodson "We live under a government of men and morning newspapers."― Wendell Phillips
