More quotes by 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
A widow of doubtful age will marry almost any sort of a white man.
Horace Greeley
Journalism kills you, but it keeps you alive as long as you're doing it.
Horace Greeley
Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you're at it.
Horace Greeley
A cigar has ...a fire at one end and a fool at the other.
Horace Greeley
Answering a letter from a church asking what else they should try after having failed to raise enough money on bake sales, bazaars, suppers, etc. Why not try religion?
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
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
I am too sick to be out of bed, too crazy to sleep, and am surrounded by horrors.
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
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
Talent without tact is only half talent.
Horace Greeley
The word rest is not in my vocabulary.
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
I do not regret having braved public opinion, when I knew it was wrong and was sure it would be merciless.
Horace Greeley
If, on a full and final review, my life and practice shall be found unworthy of my principles, let due infamy be heaped on my memory but let none be led thereby to distrust the principles to which I proved recreant, nor yet the ability of some to adorn them by a suitable life and conversation. To unerring time be all this committed.
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
Great grief makes sacred those upon whom its hand is laid. Joy may elevate, ambition glorify, but sorrow alone can consecrate.
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
Men who have great riches and little culture rush into business, because they are weary of themselves.
