More quotes by 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
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
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
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.
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
The will of the people is the best law.
Ulysses S. Grant
Wherever the enemy goes let our troops go also.
Ulysses S. Grant

Ulysses S. Grant
I don't underrate the value of military knowledge, but if men make war in slavish obedience to rules, they will fail.
Ulysses S. Grant
It will be all right if it turns out all right.
Ulysses S. Grant

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.
Ulysses S. Grant
The long-continued and useful public service and eminent purity of character of the deceased ex-President will be remembered.
Ulysses S. Grant
I leave comparisons to history, claiming only that I have acted in every instance from a conscientious desire to do what was right, constitutional, within the law, and for the very best interests of the whole people. Failures have been errors of judgment, not of intent.
Ulysses S. Grant
Everyone has his superstitions. One of mine has always been when I started to go anywhere, accomplished.
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
It does look like a very good exercise. But what is the little white ball for?
Ulysses S. Grant
Labor disgraces no man unfortunately, you occasionally find men who disgrace labor.
Ulysses S. Grant
There is nothing more I should do to it now, and therefore I am not likely to be more ready to go than at this moment.
Ulysses S. Grant
