More quotes by Horace Greeley
You may be witty, but not satirical.
Horace Greeley

Horace Greeley
A cigar has ...a fire at one end and a fool at the other.
Horace Greeley
Ease up, the play is over.
Horace Greeley
I am too sick to be out of bed, too crazy to sleep, and am surrounded by horrors.
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
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
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

Horace Greeley
Wisdom is never dear, provided the article be genuine.
Horace Greeley

Horace Greeley
Stupidity has no friends, and wants none.
Horace Greeley
Talent without tact is only half talent.
Horace Greeley
Duty and to-day are ours results and futurity belong to God.
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 the inferior of any man whose rights I trample underfoot.
Horace Greeley
The word rest is not in my vocabulary.
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
