A land without memories is a people without liberty.
Robert E. Lee
Death, in its silent sure march is fast gathering those whom I have longest loved, so that when he shall knock at my door, I will more willingly follow.
Robert E. Lee
There is always hazard in military activity, but we must decide between the positive loss of inactivity and the risk of action.
Robert E. Lee
We cannot afford to be idle, and though weaker than our opponents in men and military equipments, must endeavor to harass, if we cannot destroy them.
Robert E. Lee
You cannot barter manhood for peace.
Robert E. Lee
