C.N. Douglas, comp. Forty Thousand Quotations: Prose and Poetical. 1917. U. S. Grant
I have never advocated war, except as a means of peace. 1 Labor disgraces no man; unfortunately, you occasionally find men who disgrace labor. 2 Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions; keep the Church and the State forever apart. 3 Let no guilty man escape, if it can be avoided. No personal consideration should stand in the way of performing a public duty. 4 Let us have peace. 5 No terms except an unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted. I propose to move immediately upon your works. 6 The will of the people is the best law. 7
