More quotes by Ulysses S. Grant

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

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
It is preposterous to suppose that the people of one generation can lay down the best and only rules of government for all who are to come after them, and under unforeseen contingencies.
Ulysses S. Grant
As soon as slavery fired upon the flag it was felt, we all felt, even those who did not object to slaves, that slavery must be destroyed. We felt that it was a stain to the Union that men should be bought and sold like cattle.
Ulysses S. Grant
I believe that our Great Maker is preparing the world, in His own good time, to become one nation, speaking one language, and when armies and navies will be no longer required.
Ulysses S. Grant
Wherever the enemy goes let our troops go also.
Ulysses S. Grant
If you see the President, tell him from me that whatever happens there will be no turning back.
Ulysses S. Grant
In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten, then he who continues the attack wins.
