Quotes by Ulysses S. Grant

I have never advocated war except as a means of peace.

In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten, then he who continues the attack wins.

The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.

The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on.

My failures have been errors in judgment, not of intent.

I propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer.
