More quotes by Robert E. Lee

I will attack no matter what and win the war!
Robert E. Lee
What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world.
Robert E. Lee
We have but one rule here, and that is that every student must be a gentleman.
