ProfessionLeader
war confused hands
I see every chance of a long, confused and disorganizing civil war, and I feel no desire to take a hand therein.
war hell can-not
War is Hell you can NOT refine it!
crazy history drunk
Grant stood by me when I was crazy, and I stood by him when he was drunk, and now we stand by each other.
expectations way resistance
The way to success is strategically along the way of least expectation and tactically along the line of least resistance.
party politics should
If nominated by either party, I should peremptorily decline, and even if unanimously elected, I should decline to serve.
important captains lieutenants
We have good corporals and good sergeants and some good lieutenants and captains, and those are far more important than good generals.

The carping and bickering of political factions in the nation's capital reminds me of two pelicans quarreling over a dead fish.
war barbarism
War is at best barbarism.
war hell glory
War is at best barbarism. Its glory is all moonshine...War is hell.
country war mistake
You mistake, too, the people of the North. They are a peaceable people but an earnest people, and they will fight, too. They are not going to let this country be destroyed without a mighty effort to save it...Besides, where are your men and appliances of war to contend against them?
war fierce tire
I would make this war as severe as possible, and show no symptoms of tiring till the South begs for mercy.
country war sacrifice
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.
tired mean gun
There will soon come an armed contest between capital and labor. They will oppose each other, not with words and arguments, but with shot and shell, gun-powder and cannon. The better classes are tired of the insane howling of the lower strata and they mean to stop them.
latin voice people
The voice of the people is the voice of humbug.
