Robert E. Lee
Traveler is my only companion I may also say my pleasure. He and I, whenever practicable, wander out in the mountains and enjoy sweet confidence.
Robert E. Lee
I will attack no matter what and win the war!
Robert E. Lee
It is good that war is so horrible, or we might grow to like it.
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
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
