More quotes by William Tecumseh Sherman
In our Country... one class of men makes war and leaves another to fight it out.
William Tecumseh Sherman
I want peace, and believe it can only be reached through union and war, and I will ever conduct war with a view to perfect an early success.
William Tecumseh Sherman
If the people raise a great howl against my barbarity and cruelty, I will answer that war is war, and not popularity seeking.
William Tecumseh Sherman
War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want.
William Tecumseh Sherman
It's a disagreeable thing to be whipped.
William Tecumseh Sherman
You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it and those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out. I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know I will make more sacrifices to-day than any of you to secure peace.
William Tecumseh Sherman
I intend to make Georgia howl.
William Tecumseh Sherman
If nominated, I won't run If elected, I won't serve.
William Tecumseh Sherman
I think I understand what military fame is to be killed on the field of battle and have your name misspelled in the newspapers.
William Tecumseh Sherman
You people speak so lightly of war you don't know what you're talking about. War is a terrible thing!
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
We cannot change the hearts of the people of the South, but we can make war so terrible that they will realize the fact that however brave and gallant and devoted to their country still they are mortal and should exhaust all peaceful remedies before they fly to war.
William Tecumseh Sherman
I will not accept if nominated, and will not serve if elected.
William Tecumseh Sherman
The more Indians we can kill... the less will have to be killed the next war, for the more I see of these Indians, the more convinced I am that they all have to be killed or be maintained as a species of paupers.
William Tecumseh Sherman
You may as well say, 'That's a valiant flea that dare eat his breakfast on the lip of a lion.
William Tecumseh Sherman
I'm a damned sight smarter than Grant I know more about organization, supply and administration and about everything else than he does but I'll tell you where he beats me and where he beats the world. He don't care a damn for what the enemy does out of his sight but it scares me like hell.
William Tecumseh Sherman
War is at best barbarism.
William Tecumseh Sherman
The carping and bickering of political factions in the nation's capital reminds me of two pelicans quarreling over a dead fish.
William Tecumseh Sherman
The voice of the people is the voice of humbug.
William Tecumseh Sherman
After all, I think Forrest was the most remarkable man our Civil War produced on either side.
William Tecumseh Sherman
