Ulysses S. Grant
I only knew what was in my mind, and I wished to express it clearly
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

Ulysses S. Grant
Two commanders on the same field are always one too many.
