More quotes by Horace Greeley
A widow of doubtful age will marry almost any sort of a white man.
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
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
The word rest is not in my vocabulary.
Horace Greeley
Talent without tact is only half talent.
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
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
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
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
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
Duty and to-day are ours results and futurity belong to God.
Horace Greeley
Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you're at it.
Horace Greeley
Wisdom is never dear, provided the article be genuine.
Horace Greeley
Common sense is very uncommon.
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
You may be witty, but not satirical.
Horace Greeley
Money is more trouble than it is worth.
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
I am too sick to be out of bed, too crazy to sleep, and am surrounded by horrors.
Horace Greeley
