More quotes by Robert E. Lee
The dominant party cannot reign forever, and truth and justice will prevail at last.
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
I like whiskey. I always did, and that is why I never drink it.
Robert E. Lee
Life Insurance trusts I consider sacred. To hazard the property of the dead & to lose the scanty earnings of fathers & husbands, who have toiled & saved that they may leave something to their families deprived of their care & the support of their labour, is to my mind the worst of crimes.
Robert E. Lee
Let us go home and cultivate our virtues.
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
The enemy is here, and if we do not whip him, he will whip us.
Robert E. Lee
We must forgive our enemies.

There is nothing left for me to do but to go and see General Grant and I would rather die a thousand deaths.
Robert E. Lee
No day should be lived unless it was begun with a prayer of thankfulness and an intercession for guidance.
Robert E. Lee
We must...submit ourselves in adversity to the will of a merciful God as cheerfully as in prosperity.
Robert E. Lee
All that the South has ever desired was that the Union, as established by our forefathers, should be preserved, and that the government as originally organized should be administered in purity and truth.
Robert E. Lee
You cannot be a true man until you learn to obey.
Robert E. Lee
The consolidation of the states into one vast empire, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of ruin which has overwhelmed all that preceded it.
Robert E. Lee
Alabama soldiers, all I ask of you is to keep up with the Texans!
Robert E. Lee
The devil's name is dullness.
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
I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences and posterity.
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
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
