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

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

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

 I beg to present you as a Christmas gift the city of Savannah.

 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.

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

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

 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.

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

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

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

 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.

 This war differs from other wars, in this particular. We are not fighting armies but a hostile people, and must make old and young, rich and poor, feel the hard hand of war.

 War is at its best barbarism.

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