More From Horace Greeley

It is not the high summer alone that is god's. the winter also is his. and into his winter he came to visit us. and all man's winters are his - the winter of our poverty, the winter of our sorrow, the winter of our unhappiness - even 'the winter of our discontent.

If every u.s. citizen ate just one meal a week (any meal) composed of locally and organically raised meats and produce, we would reduce our country’s oil consumption by over 1.1 million barrels of oil every week. that's not gallons, but barrels. small changes in buying habits can make big differences. becoming a less energy-dependent nation may just need to start with a good breakfast.

There is no night life in spain. they stay up late but they get up late. that is not night life. that is delaying the day. night life is when you get up with a hangover in the morning. night life is when everybody says what the hell and you do not remember who paid the bill. night life goes round and round and you look at the wall to make it stop. night life comes out of a bottle and goes into a jar. if you think how much are the drinks it is not night life.
Morning Wall Hangover
I sleep equally well in a soft bed or on the grass beside the road. if i am given food and shelter, fine. if not, i'm just as happy. many times i am given shelter by total strangers. when hospitality is not available there are always bus depots, railroad stations and all night truck stops.... when no shelter is available to me, i sleep in the fields or by the side of the road with god to guard me.

Your street, rich street or poor used to always be sure, on your street there's a place in your heart you know from the start can't be complete outside of the street keep moving on through the joy and the pain sometimes you got to look back to the street again would you prefer all those castles in spain? or the view of your street from your window pane?
Pain Moving Heart
Everywhere the tendency has been to separate religion from morality, to set them in opposition even. but a religion without morality is a superstition and a curse; and anything like an adequate and complete morality without religion is impossible. the only salvation for man is in the union of the two as christianity unites them.

Philosophy is the true home of irony, which might be defined as logical beauty: for wherever men are philosophizing in spoken or written dialogues, and provided they are not entirely systematic, irony ought to be produced and postulated; even the stoics regarded urbanity as a virtue.

The functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty and property of their constituents.

For white men, to live is to own, or to try to own more, or to die trying to own more. their appetites are astonishing! they own wardrobes, slaves, carriages, houses, warehouses, and ships. they own ports, cities, plantations, valleys, mountains, chains of islands. they own this world, its jungles, its skies, and its seas. yet they complain that dejima is a prison. they complain they are not free.
