More quotes by 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
... 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
It will be all right if it turns out all right.
Ulysses S. Grant
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
Whatever there is of greatness in the United States, or indeed in any other country, is due to labor. The laborer is the author of all greatness and wealth. Without labor there would be no government, no leading class, and nothing to preserve.
Ulysses S. Grant
Wars produce many stories of fiction, some of which are told until they are believed to be true.
Ulysses S. Grant
I never knew what to do with a paper except to put it in a side pocket or pass it to a clerk who understood it better than I did.
Ulysses S. Grant
There are many men who would have done better than I did under the circumstances in which I found myself. If I had never held command, if I had fallen, there were 10,000 behind who would have followed the contest to the end and never surrendered the Union.
Ulysses S. Grant
Although a soldier by profession, I have never felt any sort of fondness for war, and I have never advocated it, except as a means of peace.
Ulysses S. Grant
I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution.
Ulysses S. Grant
Ah, you know my weaknesses--my children and my horses.
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
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
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. Go back to your command, and try to think what are we going to do ourselves, instead of what Lee is going to do.
Ulysses S. Grant
Labor disgraces no man unfortunately, you occasionally find men who disgrace labor.
Ulysses S. Grant
There are but few important events in the affairs of men brought about by their own choice.
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
Venice would be a fine city if it were only drained.
Ulysses S. Grant
I have never advocated war except as a means of peace.
