More quotes by Ulysses S. Grant
I never was an Abolitionest, not even what could be called anti slavery, but I try to judge farely and honestly and it become patent to my mind early in the rebellion that the North and South could never live at peace with each other except as one nation, and that without Slavery.
Ulysses S. Grant
Hold fast to the Bible. To the influence of this Book we are indebted for all the progress made in true civilization and to this we must look as our guide in the future.
Ulysses S. Grant
There never was a time when, in my opinion, some way could not be found to prevent the drawing of the sword.
Ulysses S. Grant
It does look like a very good exercise. But what is the little white ball for?
Ulysses S. Grant
...but for a soldier his duty is plain. He is to obey the orders of all those placed over him and whip the enemy wherever he meets him.
Ulysses S. Grant
... anything is better than indecision. We must decide. If I am wrong, we shall soon find out and can do the other thing. But not to decide wastes both time and money and may ruin everything.
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
Nations, like individuals, are punished for their transgressions.
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
I desire the good-will of all, whether hitherto my friends or not.
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
I never knew what to do with a paper except to put it in a side pocket or pass it to a clerk who understood it better than I did.
Ulysses S. Grant
I will not move my army without onions.
Ulysses S. Grant
It will be all right if it turns out all right.
Ulysses S. Grant
The one thing I never want to see again is a military parade. When I resigned from the army and went to a farm I was happy. When the rebellion came, I returned to the service because it was a duty. I had no thought of rank all I did was try and make.
Ulysses S. Grant
Although a soldier by profession, I have never felt any sort of fondness for war, and I have never advocated it, except as a means of peace.
Ulysses S. Grant
The right of revolution is an inherent one. When people are oppressed by their government, it is a natural right they enjoy to relieve themselves of oppression, if they are strong enough, whether by withdrawal from it, or by overthrowing it and substituting a government more acceptable.
Ulysses S. Grant
Lee's army will be your objective point. Wherever Lee goes, there you will go also.
Ulysses S. Grant
I propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer.
Ulysses S. Grant
I know only two tunes: one of them is Yankee Doodle and the other isn't.
