I have fought against the people of the North because I believed they were seeking to wrest from the South dearest rights. But I have never cherished toward them bitter or vindictive feelings. And have never seen the day when I did not pray for them.

You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience.

So far from engaging in a war to perpetuate slavery,I am rejoiced that slavery is abolished.

Marry...into a family that will enable your children to feel proud of both sides of the house.

Robert Lee 168 quotes

True patriotism sometimes requ...

True patriotism sometimes requires of men to act exactly contrary, at one period, to that which it does at another, and the motive which impels them the desire to do right is precisely the same.

Robert Lee 168 quotes

Say what you mean to do...and ...

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.

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 Lee 168 quotes

Traveller is my only companion ... He and I ... wander out in the mountains and enjoy sweet confidence.

Robert Lee 168 quotes

The gentleman does not needles...

The gentleman does not needlessly and unnecessarily remind an offender of a wrong he may have committed against him. He cannot only forgive, he can forget; and he strives for that nobleness of self and mildness of character which impart sufficient strength to let the past be but the past. A true man of honor feels humbled himself when he cannot help humbling others.

The enemy never sees the backs of my Texans!

Robert Lee 168 quotes

So far from engaging in a war ...

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 Lee 168 quotes

You must study to be frank wit...

You must study to be frank with the world: frankness is the child of honesty and courage. Say just what you mean to do on every occasion, and take it for granted that you mean to do right.

Robert Lee 168 quotes

They do not know what they say...

They do not know what they say. If it came to a conflict of arms, the war will last at least four years. Northern politicians will not appreciate the determination and pluck of the South, and Southern politicians do not appreciate the numbers, resources, and patient perseverance of the North. Both sides forget that we are all Americans. I foresee that our country will pass through a terrible ordeal, a necessary expiation, perhaps, for our national sins.

Robert Lee 168 quotes

You cannot be a true man until...

You cannot be a true man until you learn to obey.

Robert Lee 168 quotes

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 Lee 168 quotes

There is always hazard in military activity, but we must decide between the positive loss of inactivity and the risk of action.
