More quotes by Robert E. Lee
My experience through life has convinced me that, while moderation and temperance in all things are commendable and beneficial, abstinence from spirituous liquors is the best safeguard of morals and health.
Robert E. Lee
It is good that war is so horrible, or we might grow to like it.
Robert E. Lee
Such an executive officer the sun never shone on. I have but to show him my design, and I know that it can be done, it will be done...Straight as the needle to the pole he advanced to the execution of my purpose.
Robert E. Lee
In all my perplexities and distresses, the Bible has never failed to give me light and strength.
Robert E. Lee
I have thought from the time of the cessation of the hostilities, that silence and patience on the part of the South was the true course and I think so still. Controversy of all kinds will, in my opinion, only serve to continue excitement and passion, and will prevent the public mind from the acknowledgement and acceptance of the truth.
Robert E. Lee
There are things in the Old Book which I may not be able to explain, but I fully accept it as the infallible Word of God, and receive its teachings as inspired by the Holy Spirit.
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 can only say that I am nothing but a poor sinner, trusting in Christ alone for salvation.
Robert E. Lee
I cannot trust a man to control others who cannot control himself.
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
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
History teaches us hope.
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
The enemy is here, and if we do not whip him, he will whip us.
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
Ideas are easy to conceive, less easy to execute.
Robert E. Lee
Every student must be a gentleman.
Robert E. Lee
There is always hazard in military activity, but we must decide between the positive loss of inactivity and the risk of action.
Robert E. Lee
No blame can be attached to the army for its failure to accomplish what was projected by me... I alone am to blame, in perhaps expecting too much of its prowess and valor... could I have foreseen that the attack on the last day would fail, I should certainly have tried some other course... but I do not know what better course I could have pursued.
Robert E. Lee
Abandon your animosities and make your sons Americans!
Robert E. Lee
