I will attack no matter what and win the war!
Robert E. Lee
There are things in the Old Book which I may not be able to explain, but I fully accept it as the infallible Word of God, and receive its teachings as inspired by the Holy Spirit.
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
Abandon your animosities and make your sons Americans!

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

It is glorious to see such courage in one so young.
Robert E. Lee
We have fought this fight as long, and as well as we know how. We have been defeated. For us as a Christian people, there is now but one course to pursue. We must accept the situation.
Robert E. Lee
