More quotes by Robert E. Lee

Robert E. Lee
I did only what my duty demanded. I could have taken no other course without dishonor.

Robert E. Lee
The questions which for years were in dispute between the State and General Government, and which unhappily were not decided by the dictates of reason, but referred to the decision of war, having been decided against us, it is the part of wisdom to acquiesce in the result, and of candor to recognize the fact.
Robert E. Lee
History teaches us hope.
Robert E. Lee
In all my perplexities and distresses, the Bible has never failed to give me light and strength.
Robert E. Lee
I can only say that I am nothing but a poor sinner, trusting in Christ alone for salvation.

There are few, I believe, in this enlightened age, who will not acknowledge that slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil.
Robert E. Lee
A land without memories is a people without liberty.
