Without music, we wouldn't have an Army.
Robert E. Lee
Such an executive officer the sun never shone on. I have but to show him my design, and I know that it can be done, it will be done...Straight as the needle to the pole he advanced to the execution of my purpose.
Robert E. Lee
A Union that can only be maintained by swords and bayonets, and in which strife and civil war are to take the place of brotherly love and kindness, has no charm for me.
Robert E. Lee
The education of a man is never completed until he dies.
Robert E. Lee
