More quotes by William Tecumseh Sherman
You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will.
William Tecumseh Sherman
Some of you young men think that war is all glamour and glory, but let me tell you, boys, it is all hell!
William Tecumseh Sherman
The young bloods of the South: sons of planters, lawyers about towns, good billiard-players and sportsmen, men who never did any work and never will... They are splendid riders, first-rate shots and utterly reckless. These men must all be killed or employed by us before we can hope for peace.
William Tecumseh Sherman
In our Country... one class of men makes war and leaves another to fight it out.
William Tecumseh Sherman
This war differs from other wars, in this particular. We are not fighting armies but a hostile people, and must make old and young, rich and poor, feel the hard hand of war.
William Tecumseh Sherman
War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it.
William Tecumseh Sherman
I would make this war as severe as possible, and show no symptoms of tiring till the South begs for mercy.
William Tecumseh Sherman
We can make war so terrible and make them so sick of war that generations pass away before they again appeal to it.
William Tecumseh Sherman

William Tecumseh Sherman
Many and many a person in Georgia asked me why we did not go to South Carolina and, when I answered that we were en route for that State, the invariable reply was, - Well, if you will make those people feel the utmost severities of war, we will pardon you for your desolation of Georgia.
William Tecumseh Sherman
The voice of the people is the voice of humbug.
William Tecumseh Sherman
You people of the South don't know what you are doing. This country will be drenched in blood, and God only knows how it will end. It is all folly, madness, a crime against civilization! You people speak so lightly of war you don't know what you're talking about.
William Tecumseh Sherman
We have good corporals and good sergeants and some good lieutenants and captains, and those are far more important than good generals.
William Tecumseh Sherman
I knew wherever I was that you thought of me, and if I got in a tight place you would come-if alive.
William Tecumseh Sherman
War is at best barbarism.
William Tecumseh Sherman
The way to success is strategically along the way of least expectation and tactically along the line of least resistance.
William Tecumseh Sherman
Hold the fort! I am coming!
William Tecumseh Sherman
The only good Indian is a dead Indian
William Tecumseh Sherman
