Quotes about Domestic Troubles

Buddy Guy

Plautus

Solitude, I reflected, is the one deep necessity of the human spirit to which adequate recognition is never given in our codes.

Herbert Hoover

This is a pretty difficult time to run international relations. The President has been so absorbed in domestic troubles that he isn’t able to give any time, and more than that the whole action when it does come into my sphere is colored by solely his domestic problems.

The Great Depression was such a high priority that he had little time for anything else. Ironically, although Hoover was concentrating on almost nothing else, his administration was hapless in improving the economy as he was in a philosophical bind in that he was opposed in principle to doing almost anything that would help the situation. When FDR assumed the Presidency, it still took him 8 years to create a recovery and without WWII, it might have taken longer.
