War is cruelty. There's no use trying to reform it, the crueler it is the sooner it will be over.

Krig

Grant stood by me when I was crazy, and I stood by him when he was drunk, and now we stand by each other.

I think I understand what military fame is; to be killed on the field of battle and have your name misspelled in the newspapers.

Krig

If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve.

Individualitet

If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world but I am sure we would be getting reports from hell before breakfast.

Every attempt to make war easy and safe will result in humiliation and disaster

Krig är ett helvete.

War is hell.

Krig

If the people raise a great howl against my barbarity and cruelty, I will answer that war is war, and not popularity seeking

Krig

I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are. If I killed them all there would be news from Hell before breakfast.

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.

Newspaper correspondents with an army, as a rule, are mischievous. They are the world's gossips, pick up and retail the camp scandal, and gradually drift to the headquarters of some general, who finds it easier to make reputation at home than with his own corps or division. They are also tempted to prophesy events and state facts which, to an enemy, reveal a purpose in time to guard against it. Moreover, they are always bound to see facts colored by the partisan or political character of their own patrons, and thus bring army officers into the political controversies of the day, which are always mischievous and wrong. Yet, so greedy are the people at large for war news, that it is doubtful whether any army commander can exclude all reporters, without bringing down on himself a clamor that may imperil his own safety. Time and moderation must bring a just solution to this modern difficulty.

In our Country . . . one class of men makes war and leaves another to fight it out.

If forced to choose between the penitentiary and the White House for four years, I would say the penitentiary, thank you

You may as well say, 'That's a valiant flea that dare eat his breakfast on the lip of a lion.'

Ord

He belonged to that army known as invincible in peace, invisible in war
