The dominant party cannot reign forever, and truth and justice will prevail at last.
Robert E. Lee
Image
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
Image
Say what you mean to do...and take it for granted you mean to do right. Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or keep one...you will wrong him and wrong yourself by equivocation of any kind.
Robert E. Lee

There are few, I believe, in this enlightened age, who will not acknowledge that slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil.
Robert E. Lee
Image
It is good that war is so horrible, or we might grow to like it.
Robert E. Lee
Image
So far from engaging in a war to perpetuate slavery, I am rejoiced that Slavery is abolished. I believe it will be greatly for the interest of the South. So fully am I satisfied of this that I would have cheerfully lost all that I have lost by the war, and have suffered all that I have suffered to have this object attained.

Image
No day should be lived unless it was begun with a prayer of thankfulness and an intercession for guidance.
Robert E. Lee
Image
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. Controversy of all kinds will, in my opinion, only serve to continue excitement and passion, and will prevent the public mind from the acknowledgement and acceptance of the truth.

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
Image
Act with a determination not to be turned aside by thoughts of the past and fears of the future.
Robert E. Lee
Image
The enemy is here, and if we do not whip him, he will whip us.
Robert E. Lee
Image
My trust is in the mercy and wisdom of a kind Providence, who ordereth all things for our good.

Image
Life Insurance trusts I consider sacred. To hazard the property of the dead & to lose the scanty earnings of fathers & husbands, who have toiled & saved that they may leave something to their families deprived of their care & the support of their labour, is to my mind the worst of crimes.

The devil's name is dullness.

Alabama soldiers, all I ask of you is to keep up with the Texans!

Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or to keep one.
Robert E. Lee

For I consider the character of no man affected by a want of success, provided he has made an honest effort to succeed.
Robert E. Lee

I did only what my duty demanded. I could have taken no other course without dishonor.
