More quotes by Robert E. Lee
History teaches us hope.
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
We must forgive our enemies.
Robert E. Lee
It is glorious to see such courage in one so young.
Robert E. Lee
Death, in its silent sure march is fast gathering those whom I have longest loved, so that when he shall knock at my door, I will more willingly follow.
Robert E. Lee
I tremble for my country when I hear of confidence expressed in me. I know too well my weakness, that our only hope is in God.
Robert E. Lee
Let us go home and cultivate our virtues.
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
The education of a man is never completed until he dies.
Robert E. Lee
I would rather die a thousand deaths than surrender.
Robert E. Lee
You cannot barter manhood for peace.
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
Duty is the sublimest work in the English language.
Robert E. Lee
He has lost his left arm, but I my right.
Robert E. Lee
As a general principle you should not force young men to do their duty, but let them do it voluntarily and thereby develop their characters.
Robert E. Lee
We must forgive our enemies. I can truly say that not a day has passed since the war began that I have not prayed for them.
Robert E. Lee
A land without memories is a people without liberty.
Robert E. Lee
I have been up to see the Congress and they do not seem to be able to do anything except to eat peanuts and chew tobacco, while my army is starving.
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
I can only say that I am nothing but a poor sinner, trusting in Christ alone for salvation.
Robert E. Lee
