Journalism kills you, but it keeps you alive as long as you're doing it.

Bigotry is chronic dogmatism.

If you have no family or friends to aid you . . . turn your face to the Great West and there build up your home and fortune.

The best style of writing, as well as the most forcible, is the plainest.

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

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.

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