More quotes by Ulysses S. Grant
Everyone has his superstitions. One of mine has always been when I started to go anywhere, accomplished.
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
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
If you see the President, tell him from me that whatever happens there will be no turning back.
Ulysses S. Grant
The cause of the great War of the Rebellion against the United Status will have to be attributed to slavery.

Our great modern Republic. May those who seek the blessings of its institutions and the protection of its flag remember the obligations they impose.
Ulysses S. Grant
Wherever the enemy goes let our troops go also.
Ulysses S. Grant
Labor disgraces no man unfortunately, you occasionally find men who disgrace labor.
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
I suppose this work is part of the devil that is in us all.
Ulysses S. Grant
I'm afraid I'm elected.
Ulysses S. Grant
England and the United States are natural allies, and should be the best of friends.
Ulysses S. Grant
I know only two tunes: one of them is Yankee Doodle and the other isn't.
Ulysses S. Grant
The United States, knowing no distinction of her own citizens on account of religion or nationality, naturally believes in a civilization the world over which will secure the same universal laws.
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
In 1850, I believe, the church property in the United States, which paid no tax, amounted to $87 million. In 1900, without a check, it is safe to say, this property will reach a sum exceeding $3 billion. I would suggest the taxation of all property equally.
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
It is men who wait to be selected, and not those who seek, from whom we may expect the most efficient service.
Ulysses S. Grant
If men make war in slavish observance of rules, they will fail. No rules will apply to conditions of war as different as those which exist in Europe and America...War is progressive, because all the instruments and elements of war are progressive.
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
