More quotes by Robert E. Lee

Robert E. Lee
You cannot barter manhood for peace.
Robert E. Lee
There is a true glory and a true honor: the glory of duty done--the honor of the integrity of principle.
Robert E. Lee
Whither shall I flee? To no country on earth that I know of where there is as much liberty as yet remains to me even in Virginia.

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
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
The dominant party cannot reign forever, and truth and justice will prevail at last.
Robert E. Lee
You cannot be a true man until you learn to obey.
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
Ideas are easy to conceive, less easy to execute.
Robert E. Lee
I can only say that I am nothing but a poor sinner, trusting in Christ alone for salvation.
Robert E. Lee
General Longstreet,when once in a fight, was a most brilliant soldier but he was the hardest man to move I had in my army.
Robert E. Lee
We must...submit ourselves in adversity to the will of a merciful God as cheerfully as in prosperity.
Robert E. Lee
There is no more dangerous experiment than that of undertaking to be one thing before a man's face and another behind his back.
Robert E. Lee
