Robert E. Lee
The dominant party cannot reign forever, and truth and justice will prevail at last.
Robert E. Lee
If we do not do this our churches will lighthouses without light, wells without water, dumb witnesses, sleeping watchmen, silent trumpets, messengers without tidings, a comfort for infidels, jubilant joys to the devil, and an offense to God.

The questions which for years were in dispute between the State and General Government, and which unhappily were not decided by the dictates of reason, but referred to the decision of war, having been decided against us, it is the part of wisdom to acquiesce in the result, and of candor to recognize the fact.
Robert E. Lee
Alabama soldiers, all I ask of you is to keep up with the Texans!

Robert E. Lee
I cannot trust a man to control others who cannot control himself.
Robert E. Lee

My trust is in the mercy and wisdom of a kind Providence, who ordereth all things for our good.
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
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
There is no more dangerous experiment than that of undertaking to be one thing before a man's face and another behind his back.
Robert E. Lee
I tremble for my country when I hear of confidence expressed in me. I know too well my weakness, that our only hope is in God.
Robert E. Lee
