More quotes by Horace Greeley
Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you're at it.
Horace Greeley
Great grief makes sacred those upon whom its hand is laid. Joy may elevate, ambition glorify, but sorrow alone can consecrate.
Horace Greeley
A widow of doubtful age will marry almost any sort of a white man.
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
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
Common sense is very uncommon.
Horace Greeley
Apathy is a sort of living oblivion.
Horace Greeley
Morality and religion are but words to him who fishes in gutters for the means of sustaining life, and crouches behind barrels in the street for shelter from the cutting blasts of a winter night.
Horace Greeley
You may be witty, but not satirical.
Horace Greeley
If, on a full and final review, my life and practice shall be found unworthy of my principles, let due infamy be heaped on my memory but let none be led thereby to distrust the principles to which I proved recreant, nor yet the ability of some to adorn them by a suitable life and conversation. To unerring time be all this committed.
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
I am too sick to be out of bed, too crazy to sleep, and am surrounded by horrors.
Horace Greeley
Ease up, the play is over.
Horace Greeley
Stupidity has no friends, and wants none.
Horace Greeley
Where Labor stands idle ... there is a demonstrated deficiency, not of Capital, but of brains.
Horace Greeley
Duty and to-day are ours results and futurity belong to God.
Horace Greeley
Wisdom is never dear, provided the article be genuine.
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
I am the inferior of any man whose rights I trample underfoot.
Horace Greeley
The word rest is not in my vocabulary.
