More quotes by Horace Greeley

Horace Greeley

Horace Greeley
Where Labor stands idle ... there is a demonstrated deficiency, not of Capital, but of brains.
Horace Greeley
Money is more trouble than it is worth.
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

Horace Greeley
Talent without tact is only half talent.
Horace Greeley
Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you're at it.
