More quotes by Ulysses S. Grant
It was my fortune, or misfortune, to be called to the office of Chief Executive without any previous political training.
Ulysses S. Grant
There are many men who would have done better than I did under the circumstances in which I found myself. If I had never held command, if I had fallen, there were 10,000 behind who would have followed the contest to the end and never surrendered the Union.
Ulysses S. Grant
The colored man has been accustomed all his life to lean on the white man, and if a good officer is placed over him, he will learn readily and make a good soldier.
Ulysses S. Grant
The most confident critics are generally those who know the least about the matter criticized.
Ulysses S. Grant
There never was a time when, in my opinion, some way could not be found to prevent the drawing of the sword.
Ulysses S. Grant
Labor disgraces no man unfortunately, you occasionally find men who disgrace labor.

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
The fact is I think I am a verb instead of a personal pronoun. A verb is anything that signifies to be to do or to suffer. I signify all three.
Ulysses S. Grant
Let no guilty man escape, if it can he avoided. . . . No personal consideration should stand in the way of performing a public duty.
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
A military life had no charms for me, and I had not the faintest idea of staying in the army even if I should be graduated, which I did not expect.
Ulysses S. Grant
I only knew what was in my mind, and I wished to express it clearly
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
Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and state forever separate.
Ulysses S. Grant
War is progressive because all instruments of war are progressive.
Ulysses S. Grant
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. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.
Ulysses S. Grant
Oh, I am heartily tired of hearing about what Lee is going to do. Some of you always seem to think he is suddenly going to turn a double somersault, and land in our rear and on both of our flanks at the same time. Go back to your command, and try to think what are we going to do ourselves, instead of what Lee is going to do.
Ulysses S. Grant
