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. LeeGo home all you boys who fought with me and help build up the shattered fortunes of our old state
Robert E. LeeA nation which does not remember what it was yesterday does not know where it is today.
Robert E. LeeWhither shall I flee? To no country on earth that I know of where there is as much liberty as yet remains to me even in Virginia.
Robert E. LeeShake off those gloomy feelings. Drive them away. Fix your mind and pleasures upon what is before you.All is bright if you will think it so. All is happy if you will make it so. Do not dream. It is too ideal, too imaginary. Dreaming by day, I mean. Live in the world you inhabit. Look upon things as they are. Take them as you find them. Make the best of them. Turn them to your advantage.
Robert E. Lee
