More quotes by Robert E. Lee
To be a good soldier, you must love the army. To be a good commander, you must be willing to order the death of the thing you love.
Robert E. Lee
We must forgive our enemies.
Robert E. Lee
I consider the proper education of our youths one of the most important objects now to be attained and one from which the greatest benefits may be expected.
Robert E. Lee
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.
Robert E. Lee
A land without memories is a people without liberty.
Robert E. Lee
I did only what my duty demanded. I could have taken no other course without dishonor.
Robert E. Lee
Every student must be a gentleman.

Robert E. Lee
The enemy is here, and if we do not whip him, he will whip us.
Robert E. Lee
I cannot trust a man to control others who cannot control himself.
Robert E. Lee
Duty, then is the sublimest word in our language. Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more you should never wish to do less.
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
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
Traveler is my only companion I may also say my pleasure. He and I, whenever practicable, wander out in the mountains and enjoy sweet confidence.
Robert E. Lee
Our country demands all our strength, all our energies. To resist the powerful combination now forming against us will require every man at his place. If victorious, we will have everything to hope for in the future. If defeated, nothing will be left for us to live for.
Robert E. Lee
The devil's name is dullness.
Robert E. Lee
The dominant party cannot reign forever, and truth and justice will prevail at last.
Robert E. Lee
