More quotes by 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
I will not accept if nominated, and will not serve if elected.
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

William Tecumseh Sherman
The voice of the people is the voice of humbug.
William Tecumseh Sherman
The only good Indian is a dead Indian

William Tecumseh Sherman
A battery of field artillery is worth a thousand muskets.

William Tecumseh Sherman
War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it.
William Tecumseh Sherman
You might as well appeal against the thunderstorm.
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
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
He belonged to that army known as invincible in peace, invisible in war.
William Tecumseh Sherman
Wars are not all evil, they are part of the grand machinery by which this world is governed.
William Tecumseh Sherman
