More quotes by 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
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
Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you're at it.
Horace Greeley
A widow of doubtful age will marry almost any sort of a white man.
Horace Greeley
Duty and to-day are ours results and futurity belong to God.
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
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
I am the inferior of any man whose rights I trample underfoot.
Horace Greeley
Money is more trouble than it is worth.
Horace Greeley
Stupidity has no friends, and wants none.
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
A cigar has ...a fire at one end and a fool at the other.
Horace Greeley

Horace Greeley
Where Labor stands idle ... there is a demonstrated deficiency, not of Capital, but of brains.
Horace Greeley
Journalism kills you, but it keeps you alive as long as you're doing it.
Horace Greeley
You may be witty, but not satirical.
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 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
Great grief makes sacred those upon whom its hand is laid. Joy may elevate, ambition glorify, but sorrow alone can consecrate.
