More quotes by Robert E. Lee
I consider the proper education of our youths one of the most important objects now to be attained and one from which the greatest benefits may be expected.
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
The enemy is here, and if we do not whip him, he will whip us.
Robert E. Lee
Alabama soldiers, all I ask of you is to keep up with the Texans!
Robert E. Lee
We have but one rule here, and that is that every student must be a gentleman.
Robert E. Lee
To be a good soldier, you must love the army. To be a good commander, you must be willing to order the death of the thing you love.
Robert E. Lee
Postal officials say that before Christmas they receive tons of letters written to Santa Claus, but after Christmas how few letters of thanks are sent to him! From childhood onward, human beings seem to be characterized by thanklessness.
Robert E. Lee
Let us pray for ourselves, that we may not lose the word “concern” out of our Christian vocabulary. Let us pray for our nation. Let us pray for those who have never known Jesus Christ and redeeming love, for moral forces everywhere, for our national leaders. Let prayer be our passion. Let prayer be our practice.
Robert E. Lee
Abandon your animosities and make your sons Americans!
Robert E. Lee
Marry...into a family that will enable your children to feel proud of both sides of the house.
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
We must...submit ourselves in adversity to the will of a merciful God as cheerfully as in prosperity.
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
Duty is the sublimest work in the English language.
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
Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or to keep one.
Robert E. Lee
Get correct views of life, and learn to see the world in its true light. It will enable you to live pleasantly, to do good, and, when summoned away, to leave without regret.
Robert E. Lee
I will attack no matter what and win the war!
Robert E. Lee
We made a great mistake in the beginning of our struggle, and I fear, in spite of all we can do, it will prove to be a fatal mistake. We appointed all our worst generals to command our armies, and all our best generals to edit the newspapers
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
