More quotes by Ulysses S. Grant

Ulysses S. Grant
It will be all right if it turns out all right.
Ulysses S. Grant

There are but two parties now: traitors and patriots. And I want hereafter to be ranked with the latter and, I trust, the stronger party.

I would suggest the taxation of all property equally whether church or corporation.
Ulysses S. Grant
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most.
Ulysses S. Grant
Wars produce many stories of fiction, some of which are told until they are believed to be true.
Ulysses S. Grant
In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten, then he who continues the attack wins.

Nations, like individuals, are punished for their transgressions.
Ulysses S. Grant
