More quotes by Ulysses S. Grant
Really, Mr. Lincoln, I have had enough of this show business.
Ulysses S. Grant
Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet-anchor of your liberties write its precepts in your hearts, and practice them in your lives.
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
Quit thinking about what Bobby Lee's gonna do to us and start thinking about what we're going to do to him.
Ulysses S. Grant
War is progressive because all instruments of war are progressive.
Ulysses S. Grant
If men make war in slavish observance of rules, they will fail. No rules will apply to conditions of war as different as those which exist in Europe and America...War is progressive, because all the instruments and elements of war are progressive.
Ulysses S. Grant
I will raid the arsenal and start a war to end slavery.
Ulysses S. Grant

Ulysses S. Grant
Jesse has a new dog. You may have noticed that his former pets have been peculiarly unfortunate. When this dog dies every employee in the White House will be at once discharged.
Ulysses S. Grant
I believe that our Great Maker is preparing the world, in His own good time, to become one nation, speaking one language, and when armies and navies will be no longer required.
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
You can violate the law. The banks may violate the law and be sustained in doing so. But the President of the United States cannot violate the law.
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
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
It does look like a very good exercise. But what is the little white ball for?
Ulysses S. Grant
No theory of my own will ever stand in the way of my executing, in good faith, any order I may receive from those in authority over me.
Ulysses S. Grant
It is preposterous to suppose that the people of one generation can lay down the best and only rules of government for all who are to come after them, and under unforeseen contingencies.
Ulysses S. Grant
I feel that we are on the eve of a new era, when there is to be great harmony between the Federal and Confederate. I cannot stay to be a living witness to the correctness of this prophecy but I feel it within me that it is to be so.
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
