The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on.

More quotes by Ulysses S. Grant
The theory of government changes with general progress.
Ulysses S. Grant
I only knew what was in my mind, and I wished to express it clearly
Ulysses S. Grant
I'm afraid I'm elected.
Ulysses S. Grant
Retreat? NO. I propose to attach at daylight and whip them.
Ulysses S. Grant
It does look like a very good exercise. But what is the little white ball for?
Ulysses S. Grant
Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and state forever separate.
Ulysses S. Grant
I know only two tunes: one of them is Yankee Doodle and the other isn't.
Ulysses S. Grant
There is nothing more I should do to it now, and therefore I am not likely to be more ready to go than at this moment.
Ulysses S. Grant
We're teachers, and we have a commitment. Commitment to what-to live and die in this hellhole, when we can leave and live like other people?
Ulysses S. Grant
I don't underrate the value of military knowledge, but if men make war in slavish obedience to rules, they will fail.
Ulysses S. Grant
It was my fortune, or misfortune, to be called to the office of Chief Executive without any previous political training.
Ulysses S. Grant
Oh, I am heartily tired of hearing about what Lee is going to do. Some of you always seem to think he is suddenly going to turn a double somersault, and land in our rear and on both of our flanks at the same time. Go back to your command, and try to think what are we going to do ourselves, instead of what Lee is going to do.
Ulysses S. Grant
The distant rear of an army engaged in battle is not the best place from which to judge correctly what is going on in front.
Ulysses S. Grant
Our great modern Republic. May those who seek the blessings of its institutions and the protection of its flag remember the obligations they impose.
Ulysses S. Grant
I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution.
Ulysses S. Grant
Let no guilty man escape if it can be avoided. Be specially vigilant-or instruct those engaged in the prosecution of fraud to be-against all who insinuate that they have high influence to protect-or to protect them. No personal consideration should stand in the way of performing a public duty.
Ulysses S. Grant
As soon as slavery fired upon the flag it was felt, we all felt, even those who did not object to slaves, that slavery must be destroyed. We felt that it was a stain to the Union that men should be bought and sold like cattle.
Ulysses S. Grant
I felt like anything rather than rejoicing at the downfall of a foe who had fought so long and valiantly, and had suffered so much for a cause, though that cause was, I believe, one of the worst for which a people ever fought, and one for which there was the least excuse.
Ulysses S. Grant
I suppose this work is part of the devil that is in us all.
Ulysses S. Grant
The long-continued and useful public service and eminent purity of character of the deceased ex-President will be remembered.
Ulysses S. Grant
