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.
From Ulysses S. Grant

It was my fortune, or misfortune, to be called to the office of Chief Executive without any previous political training.
Everyone has his superstitions. One of mine has always been when I started to go anywhere, accomplished.
Let us have peace.
Nations, like individuals, are punished for their transgressions.
I have made it a rule of my life to trust a man long after other people gave him up, but I don't see how I can ever trust any human being again.
Labor disgraces no man; unfortunately, you occasionally find men who disgrace labor.
