No day should be lived unless it was begun with a prayer of thankfulness and an intercession for guidance.
Robert E. LeeSo far from engaging in a war to perpetuate slavery, I am rejoiced that slavery is abolished.
Robert E. LeeWhile 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.
Robert E. Lee
