More quotes by William Tecumseh Sherman
The scenes on this field would have cured anybody of war.
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
I intend to make Georgia howl.
William Tecumseh Sherman
He belonged to that army known as invincible in peace, invisible in war.
William Tecumseh Sherman
You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will.
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
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
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.
William Tecumseh Sherman
War is at best barbarism.
William Tecumseh Sherman
...[We] must stop these swarms of Jews who are trading, bartering and robbing.
William Tecumseh Sherman
You might as well appeal against the thunder-storm as against these terrible hardships of war. They are inevitable, and the only way the people of Atlanta can hope once more to live in peace and quiet at home, is to stop the war, which can only be done by admitting that it began in error and is perpetuated in pride.
William Tecumseh Sherman
Courage - a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to endure it.
William Tecumseh Sherman
After all, I think Forrest was the most remarkable man our Civil War produced on either side.
William Tecumseh Sherman
I will not accept if nominated, and will not serve if elected.
William Tecumseh Sherman
Grant stood by me when I was crazy, and I stood by him when he was drunk, and now we stand by each other.
William Tecumseh Sherman
War is too serious a matter to leave to soldiers.
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
Hold the fort! I am coming!
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
It's a disagreeable thing to be whipped.
William Tecumseh Sherman
