The enemy is here, and if we do not whip him, he will whip us.
Robert E. Lee
What a glorious world Almighty God has given us. How thankless and ungrateful we are, and how we labor to mar his gifts.
Robert E. Lee
Say what you mean to do...and take it for granted you mean to do right. Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or keep one...you will wrong him and wrong yourself by equivocation of any kind.
Robert E. Lee
The devil's name is dullness.
Robert E. Lee
There is always hazard in military activity, but we must decide between the positive loss of inactivity and the risk of action.

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
No blame can be attached to the army for its failure to accomplish what was projected by me... I alone am to blame, in perhaps expecting too much of its prowess and valor... could I have foreseen that the attack on the last day would fail, I should certainly have tried some other course... but I do not know what better course I could have pursued.
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
History teaches us hope.
Robert E. Lee
A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday does not know where it is today.
Robert E. Lee
I was too weak to defend, so I attacked
Robert E. Lee
I will attack no matter what and win the war!
