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.

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
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
The Southern rebellion was largely the outgrowth of the Mexican war. Nations, like individuals, are punished for their transgressions. We got our punishment in the most sanguinary and expensive war of modern times.
Ulysses S. Grant
The will of the people is the best law.
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 most confident critics are generally those who know the least about the matter criticized.
