You see what a poor sinner I am, and how unworthy to possess what was given me; for that reason it has been taken away.

Robert Lee 168 quotes

There are few, I believe, in t...

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 Lee 168 quotes

A man may manifest and communi...

A man may manifest and communicate his joy, but he should conceal and smother his grief as much as possible.

Robert Lee 168 quotes

There is scarcely anything tha...

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 Lee 168 quotes

I have always observed that wherever you find the negro, everything is going down around him, and wherever you find the white man, you see everything around him improving.

Robert Lee 168 quotes

While we see the Course of the...

While we see the Course of the final abolition of human Slavery is onward, & we give it the aid of our prayers & all justifiable means in our power, we must leave the progress as well as the result in his hands who sees the end; who Chooses to work by slow influences; & with whom two thousand years are but as a Single day.

We have only one rule here - to act like a gentleman at all times.

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...

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.

Robert Lee 168 quotes

The enemy never sees the backs...

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...

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 a true glory and a true honor: the glory of duty done--the honor of the integrity of principle.

Robert Lee 168 quotes

The biggest mistake of my life...

The biggest mistake of my life was taking a military education.

Robert Lee 168 quotes

If we do not do this our churc...

If we do not do this our churches will lighthouses without light, wells without water, dumb witnesses, sleeping watchmen, silent trumpets, messengers without tidings, a comfort for infidels, jubilant joys to the devil, and an offense to God.

We have but one rule here, and that is that every student must be a gentleman.
