More quotes by Ulysses S. Grant
It does look like a very good exercise. But what is the little white ball for?
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
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
In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten, then he who continues the attack wins.
Ulysses S. Grant
Nations, like individuals, are punished for their transgressions.
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
I would like to call your attention to ... an evil that, if allowed to continue, will probably lead to great trouble ... It is the accumulation of vast amounts of untaxed church property.
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
If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.
Ulysses S. Grant
Whatever there is of greatness in the United States, or indeed in any other country, is due to labor. The laborer is the author of all greatness and wealth. Without labor there would be no government, no leading class, and nothing to preserve.
Ulysses S. Grant
I suppose this work is part of the devil that is in us all.
Ulysses S. Grant
I desire the good-will of all, whether hitherto my friends or not.
Ulysses S. Grant
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most.
Ulysses S. Grant
The will of the people is the best law.
Ulysses S. Grant
I would suggest the taxation of all property equally whether church or corporation.
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
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
I appreciate the fact, and am proud of it, that the attentions I am receiving are intended more for our country than for me personally.
Ulysses S. Grant
There are but few important events in the affairs of men brought about by their own choice.
Ulysses S. Grant
Two commanders on the same field are always one too many.
Ulysses S. Grant
