More quotes by Robert E. Lee
A land without memories is a people without liberty.
Robert E. Lee
It is good that war is so horrible, or we might grow to like it.
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
You cannot barter manhood for peace.
Robert E. Lee
Get correct views of life, and learn to see the world in its true light. It will enable you to live pleasantly, to do good, and, when summoned away, to leave without regret.
Robert E. Lee
Lee tells his troops. After four years of arduous service marked by unsurpassed courage and fortitude the Army of Northern Virginia has been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources.
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
I cannot trust a man to control others who cannot control himself.
Robert E. Lee
I endeavored to give thanks to our Heavenly Father for all his mercies to me, for his preservation of me through all the dangers I have passed, and all the blessings which he has bestowed upon me, for I know I fall far short of my obligations
Robert E. Lee
The enemy is here, and if we do not whip him, he will whip us.
Robert E. Lee
The education of a man is never completed until he dies.
Robert E. Lee
A man may manifest and communicate his joy, but he should conceal and smother his grief as much as possible.
Robert E. Lee
We made a great mistake in the beginning of our struggle, and I fear, in spite of all we can do, it will prove to be a fatal mistake. We appointed all our worst generals to command our armies, and all our best generals to edit the newspapers
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
It is glorious to see such courage in one so young.
Robert E. Lee
I would rather die a thousand deaths than surrender.
Robert E. Lee
The consolidation of the states into one vast empire, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of ruin which has overwhelmed all that preceded it.
Robert E. Lee
I will attack no matter what and win the war!
Robert E. Lee
Act with a determination not to be turned aside by thoughts of the past and fears of the future.
Robert E. Lee
Abandon your animosities and make your sons Americans!
Robert E. Lee
