More quotes by 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
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
The long-continued and useful public service and eminent purity of character of the deceased ex-President will be remembered.
Ulysses S. Grant
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most.
Ulysses S. Grant
...I never heard him abuse an enemy. Some of the cruel things said about President Lincoln, particularly in the North, used to pierce him to the heart but never in my presence did he evince a revengeful disposition.
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
Quit thinking about what Bobby Lee's gonna do to us and start thinking about what we're going to do to him.
Ulysses S. Grant
...but for a soldier his duty is plain. He is to obey the orders of all those placed over him and whip the enemy wherever he meets him.
Ulysses S. Grant
I never was an Abolitionest, not even what could be called anti slavery, but I try to judge farely and honestly and it become patent to my mind early in the rebellion that the North and South could never live at peace with each other except as one nation, and that without Slavery.
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
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
I will raid the arsenal and start a war to end slavery.
Ulysses S. Grant
The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on.
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
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
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
Really, Mr. Lincoln, I have had enough of this show business.
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
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
If you see the President, tell him from me that whatever happens there will be no turning back.
Ulysses S. Grant
