... 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.

More quotes by 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

Ulysses S. Grant
There are but few important events in the affairs of men brought about by their own choice.
Ulysses S. Grant
God gave us Lincoln and Liberty, let us fight for both.
Ulysses S. Grant
But my later experience has taught me two lessons: first, that things are seen plainer after the events have occurred second, that the most confident critics are generally those who know the least about the matter criticised.
Ulysses S. Grant
I will not move my army without onions.
Ulysses S. Grant
Two commanders on the same field are always one too many.
Ulysses S. Grant
I will raid the arsenal and start a war to end slavery.
Ulysses S. Grant

Ulysses S. Grant
