More quotes by Horace Greeley
Apathy is a sort of living oblivion.
Horace Greeley
Men who have great riches and little culture rush into business, because they are weary of themselves.
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
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
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
Where Labor stands idle ... there is a demonstrated deficiency, not of Capital, but of brains.
Horace Greeley
Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you're at it.
Horace Greeley

Horace Greeley
The word rest is not in my vocabulary.
Horace Greeley
Stupidity has no friends, and wants none.
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
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
Duty and to-day are ours results and futurity belong to God.
Horace Greeley
Money is more trouble than it is worth.
Horace Greeley
I am the inferior of any man whose rights I trample underfoot.
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
Common sense is very uncommon.
Horace Greeley
You may be witty, but not satirical.
Horace Greeley
Talent without tact is only half talent.
