Horace Greeley Country Quotations

Go West, young man, and grow up with the country (Hints toward Reforms)

Go West, young man, go West and grow up with the country.

Do not lounge in the cities! There is room & health in the country, away from the crowds of idlers & imbeciles. Go west, before you are fitted for no life but that of the factory.

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.

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.

Go West, young man, go West. There is health in the country, and room away from our crowds of idlers and imbeciles.
