Thoughts are ephemeral. Deeds substantial. To unite both requires genius. Referring to Emory Upton

If we can march a well appointed army right through his territory, it is a demonstration to the World, foreign and domestic, that we have a power which Davis cannot resist. This may not be war, but rather statesmanship ..."

- to Gen. Grant from Gen. W. T. Sherman Nov. 6, 1864

Default Sherman on General Lee
Sherman's response when an argument was made that Lee was a greater general than Grant:

"His Virginia was to him the world...[He] stood at the front porch battling with the flames whilst the kitchen and whole house were burning, sure in the end to consume the whole."

(From Grant and Sherman: The Friendship That Won The Civil War, by Charles Bracelen Flood
