Robert E. Lee
Let us pray for ourselves, that we may not lose the word “concern” out of our Christian vocabulary. Let us pray for our nation. Let us pray for those who have never known Jesus Christ and redeeming love, for moral forces everywhere, for our national leaders. Let prayer be our passion. Let prayer be our practice.
Robert E. Lee
We must forgive our enemies.
Robert E. Lee
You cannot barter manhood for peace.
Robert E. Lee

Robert E. Lee

Robert E. Lee
There is nothing left for me to do but to go and see General Grant and I would rather die a thousand deaths.
Robert E. Lee
The dominant party cannot reign forever, and truth and justice will prevail at last.
Robert E. Lee
