A quote from Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant...

On the occasion of an un-named general counseling retreat in the face of Robert E. Lee at the Battle of the Wilderness...

"Oh, I am heartily tired of hearing about what Lee is going to do...some of you think he is suddenly going to turn a double somersault and land in our rear and both of our flanks at the same time. Go back to your command, and try to think what we are going to do ourselves, instead of what Lee is going to do!!"
