More quotes by Horace Greeley
Journalism kills you, but it keeps you alive as long as you're doing it.
Horace Greeley
Nine-tenths of the world is entertained by scandalous rumors, which are never dissected until they are dead and, when pricked, collapse like an empty bladder.
Horace Greeley
A cigar has ...a fire at one end and a fool at the other.
Horace Greeley
Stupidity has no friends, and wants none.
Horace Greeley
Ease up, the play is over.
Horace Greeley
Wisdom is never dear, provided the article be genuine.
Horace Greeley
Money is more trouble than it is worth.
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
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
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
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
The word rest is not in my vocabulary.
Horace Greeley
Where Labor stands idle ... there is a demonstrated deficiency, not of Capital, but of brains.
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
You may be witty, but not satirical.
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
Talent without tact is only half talent.
Horace Greeley
We are not one people. We are two peoples. We are a people for Freedom and a people for Slavery. Between the two, conflict is inevitable.
Horace Greeley
Apathy is a sort of living oblivion.
Horace Greeley
