More quotes by Horace Greeley

Horace Greeley

Horace Greeley

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

Horace Greeley

Horace Greeley
While the Right of Suffrage is conceded to thousands notoriously ignorant, vicious, and drunken, ... a Constitutional denial to Black men, as such, of Political Rights freely secured to White men, is monstrously unjust and irrational.
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
Talent without tact is only half talent.
Horace Greeley
Wisdom is never dear, provided the article be genuine.
Horace Greeley
Journalism kills you, but it keeps you alive as long as you're doing it.
