Today is Robert E. Less's birthday.

"If I had taken General Longstreet' s advice on the eve of the second day of the battle of Gettysburg the Confederates would today be a free people."

Celebrated it on Monday.

He was a fine Christian Gentleman and a great leader.

Yes, Marlin, he was truly a great man and a fine gentleman, indeed, a man to emulate.

"It is well that war is so terrible--lest we should grow too fond of it."

"Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more, you should never wish to do less."

"I cannot trust a man to control others who cannot control himself."

"Whiskey - I like it, I always did, and that is the reason I never use it."

--Robert Edward Lee

The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
