Robert E. Lee
We have but one rule here, and that is that every student must be a gentleman.
Robert E. Lee
No blame can be attached to the army for its failure to accomplish what was projected by me...

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
No day should be lived unless it was begun with a prayer of thankfulness and an intercession for guidance.
Robert E. Lee
It is glorious to see such courage in one so young.
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
I like whiskey. I always did, and that is why I never drink it.
Robert E. Lee
There is nothing left for me to do but to go and see General Grant and I would rather die a thousand deaths.
