Robert E. Lee
Abandon your animosities and make your sons Americans!
Robert E. Lee
I have thought from the time of the cessation of the hostilities, that silence and patience on the part of the South was the true course and I think so still.

Robert E. Lee
What a beautiful world God, in His loving kindness to His creatures, has given us! What a shame that men endowed with reason and knowledge of right should mar His gifts.
Robert E. Lee
Duty is the sublimest work in the English language.
Robert E. Lee
All this has been my fault.
Robert E. Lee
My experience through life has convinced me that, while moderation and temperance in all things are commendable and beneficial, abstinence from spirituous liquors is the best safeguard of morals and health.
