Robert E. Lee

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

Robert E. Lee
My trust is in the mercy and wisdom of a kind Providence, who ordereth all things for our good.
Robert E. Lee
It is glorious to see such courage in one so young.
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
You cannot barter manhood for peace.
Robert E. Lee
Ideas are easy to conceive, less easy to execute.
Robert E. Lee
What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world.
Robert E. Lee
Every student must be a gentleman.
