More quotes by 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
There is scarcely anything that is right that we cannot hope to accomplish by labor and perseverance. But the first must be earnest and the second unremitting.
Robert E. Lee
So far from engaging in a war to perpetuate slavery, I am rejoiced that Slavery is abolished. I believe it will be greatly for the interest of the South. So fully am I satisfied of this that I would have cheerfully lost all that I have lost by the war, and have suffered all that I have suffered to have this object attained.
Robert E. Lee
There are few, I believe, in this enlightened age, who will not acknowledge that slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil.
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
In all my perplexities and distresses, the Bible has never failed to give me light and strength.
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
You cannot barter manhood for peace.
Robert E. Lee
Every student must be a gentleman.
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
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
I endeavored to give thanks to our Heavenly Father for all his mercies to me, for his preservation of me through all the dangers I have passed, and all the blessings which he has bestowed upon me, for I know I fall far short of my obligations
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
There is no more dangerous experiment than that of undertaking to be one thing before a man's face and another behind his back.
Robert E. Lee
We must forgive our enemies.
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
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
We have fought this fight as long, and as well as we know how. We have been defeated. For us as a Christian people, there is now but one course to pursue. We must accept the situation.
Robert E. Lee
The education of a man is never completed until he dies.
Robert E. Lee
My trust is in the mercy and wisdom of a kind Providence, who ordereth all things for our good.
