Ulysses S. Grant
I desire the good-will of all, whether hitherto my friends or not.
Ulysses S. Grant
I feel that we are on the eve of a new era, when there is to be great harmony between the Federal and Confederate. I cannot stay to be a living witness to the correctness of this prophecy but I feel it within me that it is to be so.
Ulysses S. Grant
The most confident critics are generally those who know the least about the matter criticized.
Ulysses S. Grant
The theory of government changes with general progress.
Ulysses S. Grant
When news of the surrender first reached our lines our men commenced firing a salute of a hundred guns in honor of the victory. I at once sent word, however, to have it stopped. The Confederates were now our prisoners, and we did not want to exult over their downfall.
Ulysses S. Grant

... anything is better than indecision. We must decide. If I am wrong, we shall soon find out and can do the other thing. But not to decide wastes both time and money and may ruin everything.
Ulysses S. Grant
I felt like anything rather than rejoicing at the downfall of a foe who had fought so long and valiantly, and had suffered so much for a cause, though that cause was, I believe, one of the worst for which a people ever fought, and one for which there was the least excuse.
Ulysses S. Grant
I know only two tunes: one of them is Yankee Doodle and the other isn't.
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
Lee's army will be your objective point. Wherever Lee goes, there you will go also.
Ulysses S. Grant
Hold fast to the Bible. To the influence of this Book we are indebted for all the progress made in true civilization and to this we must look as our guide in the future.
Ulysses S. Grant
Our great modern Republic. May those who seek the blessings of its institutions and the protection of its flag remember the obligations they impose.
