More quotes by Horace Greeley
A cigar has ...a fire at one end and a fool at the other.
Horace Greeley
While boasting of our noble deeds we're careful to conceal the ugly fact that by an iniquitous money system we have nationalized a system of oppression which, though more refined, is not less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery.
Horace Greeley
Fame is a vapor, popularity is an accident, riches take wings, those who cheer today may curse tomorrow and only one thing endures - character.
Horace Greeley
Money is more trouble than it is worth.
Horace Greeley
You may be witty, but not satirical.
Horace Greeley
It is impossible to enslave, mentally or socially, a bible-reading people. The principles of the bible are the groundwork of human freedom.
Horace Greeley
The word rest is not in my vocabulary.
Horace Greeley
Talent without tact is only half talent.
Horace Greeley
Our country right or wrong is an evil motto - what if your country be in the wrong? It will only compound her injury. I wish to serve the republic with an honest and fearless criticism.
Horace Greeley
Wisdom is never dear, provided the article be genuine.
Horace Greeley
Where Labor stands idle ... there is a demonstrated deficiency, not of Capital, but of brains.
Horace Greeley
Common sense is very uncommon.
Horace Greeley
Journalism kills you, but it keeps you alive as long as you're doing it.
Horace Greeley
I do not regret having braved public opinion, when I knew it was wrong and was sure it would be merciless.
Horace Greeley
The best use of a journal is to print the largest practical amount of important truth: truth which tends to make mankind wiser, and thus happier.
Horace Greeley
Stupidity has no friends, and wants none.
Horace Greeley
Answering a letter from a church asking what else they should try after having failed to raise enough money on bake sales, bazaars, suppers, etc. Why not try religion?
Horace Greeley
Washington is not a place to live in. The rents are high, the food is bad, the dust is disgusting and the morals are deplorable. Go West, young man, go West and grow up with the country.
Horace Greeley
We should not care much whether those thus united (against slavery) were designated 'Whig,' 'Free Democrat' or something else though we think some simple name like 'Republican' would more fitly designate those who had united to restore the Union to its true mission of champion and promulgator of Liberty rather than propagandist of slavery.
Horace Greeley
Ease up, the play is over.
