Ulysses S. Grant
England and the United States are natural allies, and should be the best of friends.
Ulysses S. Grant
I would suggest the taxation of all property equally, whether church or corporation, exempting only the last resting place of the dead and possibly, with proper restrictions, church edifices.

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 will not move my army without onions.
Ulysses S. Grant
It does look like a very good exercise. But what is the little white ball for?

Ulysses S. Grant
Wherever the enemy goes let our troops go also.
Ulysses S. Grant

Ulysses S. Grant
There are but few important events in the affairs of men brought about by their own choice.
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
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
But my later experience has taught me two lessons: first, that things are seen plainer after the events have occurred second, that the most confident critics are generally those who know the least about the matter criticised.
Ulysses S. Grant
I desire the good-will of all, whether hitherto my friends or not.
Ulysses S. Grant
