More quotes by 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
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
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
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
Men who have great riches and little culture rush into business, because they are weary of themselves.
Horace Greeley

Horace Greeley
Duty and to-day are ours results and futurity belong to God.
Horace Greeley
The darkest day in a man's career is that wherein he fancies there is some easier way of getting a dollar than by squarely earning it.
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
Stupidity has no friends, and wants none.
Horace Greeley
Common sense is very uncommon.
