Horace Greeley

Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you're at it.

Fame is a vapor; popularity an accident; riches take wings; the only earthly certainty is oblivion.

Common sense is very uncommon.

I am the inferior of any man whose rights I trample underfoot.

Apathy is a sort of living oblivion.

Ease up, the play is over.

I never said all Democrats were saloonkeepers; what I said was all saloonkeepers are Democrats.

Always rise from the table with an appetite, and you will never sit down without one.

The illusion that times that were are better than those that are, has probably pervaded all ages.

There is no bigotry like that of 'free thought' run to seed.

The darkest hour in any man's life is when he sits down to plan how to get money without earning it.
