More quotes by Ulysses S. Grant
I would suggest the taxation of all property equally whether church or corporation.
Ulysses S. Grant
The distant rear of an army engaged in battle is not the best place from which to judge correctly what is going on in front.
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
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
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
In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten, then he who continues the attack wins.
Ulysses S. Grant
Wars produce many stories of fiction, some of which are told until they are believed to be true.
Ulysses S. Grant
The will of the people is the best law.
Ulysses S. Grant
Really, Mr. Lincoln, I have had enough of this show business.
Ulysses S. Grant
Wherever the enemy goes let our troops go also.

I would suggest the taxation of all property equally, whether church or corporation, exempting only the last resting place of the dead and possibly, with proper restrictions, church edifices.
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
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
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
God gave us Lincoln and Liberty, let us fight for both.
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
The Jews are a class violating every regulation of trade established by the Treasury Department, and also department orders and are herein expelled from the department within 24 hours from receipt of this order.
Ulysses S. Grant
England and the United States are natural allies, and should be the best of friends.
Ulysses S. Grant
It was my fortune, or misfortune, to be called to the office of Chief Executive without any previous political training.
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
